Hunter Biden Drops Lawsuit Against Fox News Over Miniseries

In a surprising turn of events, Hunter Biden has decided to drop the lawsuit he filed against Fox News regarding their miniseries that allegedly included sexually explicit images of him without his consent. The lawsuit was dropped just hours after President Joe Biden announced his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, although it is unclear if the timing is related.

The miniseries in question, titled “The Trial of Hunter Biden,” depicted a dramatized mock trial about Hunter Biden’s overseas financial dealings that led to his federal tax indictment. The series also touched on claims that fueled House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into his father.

Despite Fox News removing the miniseries from its platforms in late April after Biden threatened to file a lawsuit, he proceeded with legal action on June 30. A spokesperson for Fox News claimed the lawsuit was meritless and politically motivated, stating that the network looked forward to vindicating their rights in court.

While Hunter Biden has dropped the lawsuit against Fox News, his legal challenges continue. He is set to face a federal tax evasion trial in September and was convicted earlier this year of three federal gun felonies in a separate trial. However, he has not been charged in connection with the bribery and foreign lobbying allegations portrayed in Fox’s miniseries.

In a statement released earlier on Sunday, Hunter Biden praised his father’s decision to bow out of the 2024 race, expressing gratitude and love towards President Joe Biden. The dropping of the lawsuit against Fox News adds another twist to the ongoing legal saga surrounding Hunter Biden.
