US President Hunter Biden’s son has dropped a lawsuit against right-wing Fox News over the publication of nude photos of him in a miniseries. Lawyers did not give a reason for the move.
According to court documents, the charges were dropped on Sunday (local time) – the same day his father, US President Joe Biden, announced his withdrawal from the presidential race.
Hunter Biden sued the network in early July. The lawsuit alleged that publishing the recordings amounted to “revenge porn.” According to the lawyers, the series, which will air on streaming platform Fox Nation in 2022, used photos of Hunter Biden in which he is naked “and engaged in sexual acts.” Fox published the intimate images to “humiliate, harass, anger, alarm and damage Biden’s reputation,” the report said.
Biden sees ‘political motivation’
The images come from a laptop that Hunter Biden dropped off at a computer store for repairs and then never picked up. The data has been circulating ever since and has been exploited by Biden’s opponents.
Fox News said at the time that the lawsuit was “purely politically motivated” and without merit. Biden complained about the series in a letter in late April 2024. It was subsequently removed from the streaming service “within a few days.”
Fox documented a process that never existed
The six-episode series ‘The Trial of Hunter Biden’ is about a fictional corruption trial against the son of the American president. Former President Donald Trump and his Republicans have accused Hunter Biden for years of exploiting his father’s previous position as vice president (2009 to 2017) for business in Ukraine and China. However, the accusations did not lead to a trial.
In June, Hunter Biden was convicted of illegal possession of a firearm. In the first trial in U.S. history of the child of a sitting president, the jury found the 54-year-old guilty on all three counts. In September, the president’s son will also go on trial for tax fraud.
