Hunter Biden drops Fox News lawsuit

SUMMARY

Hunter Biden has withdrawn his lawsuit against Fox News, which was filed in the New York Supreme Court earlier this month. The lawsuit alleged that Fox targeted him with a streaming series, aiming to "harass, annoy, alarm, and humiliate him, and tarnish his reputation." Biden dropped the suit "without prejudice," meaning he retains the right to refile it in the future. Fox News responded to the lawsuit by calling it "entirely politically motivated" and "devoid of merit." The network explained, "The core complaint stems from a 2022 streaming program that Mr. Biden did not complain about until sending a letter in late April 2024. The program was removed within days of the letter, in an abundance of caution, but Hunter Biden is a public figure who has been the subject of multiple investigations and is now a convicted felon."
