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
All according to plan, in my opinion. I think Murdoch is in on the scam.
It’s because they are collaborating to hurt Trump and help Joe.
Discovery will surely be interesting!
You don’t actually believe Hunter paints those paintings do you? I am SO sure he hires starving artists to paint them and they signed a non-disclosure agreement for him.
“And these ‘hacked’ images are of him naked with little girls.”
If the pictures I’ve seen are real, and I believe they are, he should be in prison for the rest of his life just for that. The other stuff, even the traitorous stuff, is nothing compared to his pedophilia.
Sounds like a few somebodies have a severe “horse-whipping deficiency”...
But everyone saw me in my underwear!D
Fox couldn't be happier. They legally funded Dominion to do as Dominion and or Murdoch/Fox wishes with elections.
One big happy never-Trump family.
That phrase appears way too often on this forum, but in this particular case it’s apropos. Hunter’s simpleton lawyers were trying this “best defense is a good offense” strategy last year, but to no particularly beneficial effect. What will kill his case dead a a doornail is that the repair shop owner became the legal owner of those images when Hunter defaulted on the redemption period.

Trying to defame Hunter Biden would be like trying to short-sheet the king in the Wizard of Id comic strip.
where is the HaHa emoji
