Hunter Biden is suing Fox News for its The Trial of Hunter Biden series, according to a Sunday court filing in New York County Supreme Court.
Biden’s attorneys said the “series intentionally manipulates the facts, distorts the truth, narrates happenings out of context, and invents dialogue intended to entertain.” They’re also taking issue with the outlet’s publication of photos “depicting him in the nude … as well as engaged in sex acts.”
The lawsuit fulfills a threat made by Biden’s lawyers that they would sue over the series, which the network took down in April. The series on Fox Nation, its streaming service, offered a fictionalized version of what a trial against Biden might look like. The television personality overseeing it, Judge Joe Brown, warned viewers that what they were seeing was not a real trial and that Biden was not facing charges.
“Far from reporting on a newsworthy event, Fox sought to commercialize Mr. Biden’s personality through a form of treatment distinct from the dissemination of news or information,” the lawsuit notes.
“Indeed, the entire miniseries is fictionalized and based on a nonexistent criminal case. … 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. Thus, the viewer of the series cannot decipher what is fact and what is fiction, which is highly damaging to Mr. Biden.”
