Lawyers for Hunter Biden are demanding Fox News issue corrections about some of its coverage of the president’s son or risk a defamation lawsuit, according to the Washington Post.
**SNIP**
Biden’s attorneys allege Fox News defamed him when Tucker Carlson claimed Biden funneled $50,000 to his father, Joe Biden. In reality, the younger Biden was paying $49,910 for office space in Washington, D.C. every three months.
“We demand that you immediately retract these statements by spending a significant of amount of air-time on such retraction,” Sullivan said in the letter to Fox News and Carlson. “If we do not receive this written confirmation, we will assume that you both are not interested in acting responsibly and professionally and willing to reverse its actual malice reporting,”
The Post stated Biden is seeking apologies from other Fox News commentators, including Sean Hannity.
As for Mac Isaac, an attorney for Biden sent a criminal referral for the repairman to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
“Backing up Mr. Biden’s files for any repair did not require Mr. Mac Isaac to review the contents of any such files,” a lawyer for Biden wrote. “Mr. Biden did not consent to Mr. Mac Isaac gaining access to the content of those files in April 2019 or at any other time.”

The Mob always has hired some of the best lawyers.
Not a legal eagle here—does Hunter’s suit open him up to discovery, on the basis that it ain’t defamation if it’s true?
Hmm, did they set us up the bomb?
Let the depositions begin!!
defamation... so you’re saying the laptop/contents isn’t yours???
Debugging a computer problem may well require the review of files on the computer. Suppose one of the jpeg files was not really a jpeg file but a malicious application file disguised as one.
Tucker in damaging the Biden Crime family with truth.. That’s why they want to shut him up.
Fox will go to court.
How is it possible to defame Hunter Biden?
He must still be on drugs.
Hunter should have received 10 life sentences by now.
Typically, if you don’t pick up a repair item after 90 days it’s no longer yours, unless other arrangements had been made. The repairman didn’t have to have permission at that point. Desperate lawyers will try anything.
What you want to bet the DOJ requested that letter so now they can say there is an additional “pending investigation” regarding Hunter? Nothing about about Hunter can be discussed and no information can be given to any congressional committees until the “investigation” is complete 20 years from now (at which time climate change will have destroyed all the evidence).

BS on stilts.
Fox helped put Hunter’s father into the White House. Fox is reaping what it sowed.
That is an understatement of Biblical proportions. 👍
The Roman Empire slowly degenerated over a couple of centuries. We will not be so lucky. It is happening quickly and in real-time.
Any repair shop for electronic devices that I’ve seen in the past 30 years has the customer sign a waiver saying that they’re not responsible for loss of file content or being exposed to a file and if they find something they suspect is illegal they will refer it to proper authorities. Also there is a clause regarding abandonment of repaired item(s) saying that after X number of days they will sell the device or dispose of it as they see fit.
I don’t know if the repair guy such a slip signed by Hunter but if he does, I think the repairman is covered even though they’ve managed to ruin his life.
Nice try... When Hunter never picked up the laptop it was considered 'abandoned' AS NOTED ON HIS REPAIR AGREEMENT and then [the shop owner] had the right to look at anything he wanted.
Does Hunter Biden leave an actual slime trail wherever he goes? Or does it just seem like he should?
