Lawyers for Hunter Biden plan to sue Fox News “imminently,” according to a letter sent to the network and obtained by NBC News.
The letter, dated April 23, puts the Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital on notice for litigation claims arising from the network’s alleged “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.”
Biden has hired attorney Mark Geragos and his firm to represent him in the Fox litigation efforts. The letter is the second outreach to Fox this month. An earlier letter was hand-delivered to Fox’s counsel two weeks ago, and the network asked for more time to respond, according to a source familiar with Biden’s legal efforts. The network has not yet responded to the letter sent April 23, which included a Friday evening, April 26, deadline to respond, according to Geragos. The letter is signed by Tina Glandian, a partner at Geragos & Geragos working on the case.
Fox News did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The new threat of litigation comes almost a year after Fox News agreed to pay almost $800 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle defamation claims related to Fox’s airing of election fraud claims in the 2020 election. Fox News also agreed to a $12 million settlement with a former employee who alleged she was pressured to provide misleading information as part of the Dominion case.
Fox is currently facing a $2.7 billion lawsuit brought by Smartmatic, another voting system company that was the focus of Fox News coverage, as well as suits brought by shareholders against directors of the company for allowing the channel to air the allegations during
Most talented artists selling paintings for half a million a copy enjoy the benefit of public recognition. Beats painting soup cans.
fox simply told the truth of what was on the laptop that Hunter abandoned and was no longer his to control.
Sorry Hunter
I’d prefer a lawsuit against the legacy media for withholding the laptop story.
How can you defame someone who has no good moral character?
They were not 'hacked'... he abandoned his laptop at a repair shop, and so the repair shop owner claimed possession, as spelled out in the repair contract.
And these 'hacked' images are of him naked with little girls.
That’s because the left nose Fox is a bunch of wussses that won’t take a stand and fight. Just like they did with election interference. Bill came to this and that’s exactly what these radical leftists know
My prediction: Paul Ryan and Fox will roll over and give him whatever he wants with apologies and genuflecting.
Best defense is a good offense. The media will play this up for Hunter - Big, bad Fox News was harassing poor Hunter and tarnished his reputation. This will play well for Biden in the upcoming election.
Yeah, right.
In that case, every conservative politician and their children should sue the mainstream media for doing the same thing.
Geragos.
If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit.

The timing is NOT a coinkydink.
Sadly for you Humper Bribe-em is there’s this thing called social media. I’m certain FOX will cave and remove them but they’ll always be out there for everyone to see.
Based on previous settlements, it should be a nice payday for Hunter.
Watch FOX cave and say publicly that they were wrong, Hunters’ laptop was fake. Don’t expect them to go through with a lawsuit where the laptop could be produced as evidence. I am beginning to think these lawsuits are collaborations to shut down discussions of election fraud and Biden family misdeeds. The real tell will be if FOX ever shells out any money to any these litigants like Dominion and, if so, how much did they pay versus what was announced publicly as the settlement amount???
The only way a slimball like Hunter Biden can get away with this is because his slimball moron Daddy has a corrupt DOJ. We already know the slimeball wins and in a pathetic way FOxsnooze gets its Karma for calling 2020 for slimy Joe Biden.
