Hunter Biden sues Fox News over nude photos in ‘mock trial’ miniseries
- Hunter Biden alleges Fox violated New York state’s ‘revenge porn law’, which makes it illegal to publish intimate images of a person without consent
Hunter Biden alleges Fox violated New York state’s so-called revenge porn law, which makes it illegal to publish intimate images of a person without their consent. He is also suing for unjust enrichment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Biden’s lawyer and representatives for Fox did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Fox broadcast The Trial of Hunter Biden: A Mock Trial for the American People on its Fox Nation streaming platform in October 2022 but later took it down under threat of lawsuit by Biden’s lawyers.
The series depicted a fictional trial of Hunter Biden on illegal foreign lobbying and bribery charges, crimes he has never been indicted for.
Biden was convicted on federal gun charges in June and faces a September trial for alleged tax crimes.
“While using certain true information, the series intentionally manipulates the facts, distorts the truth, narrates happenings out of context, and invents dialogue intended to entertain,” Hunter Biden said in the lawsuit.
