Last month, first son Hunter Biden was put on trial and convicted for lying on the forms he filled out to buy a Colt revolver gun in 2018. Despite the best efforts of his legal defense team, a jury ultimately found President Biden’s son guilty of the three felony charges brought against him.
As court proceedings played out, the president himself went on record, claiming he wouldn’t pardon his son if a guilty verdict emerged. However, some of Biden’s critics still question whether he’ll ultimately change his mind at the eleventh hour.
With Hunter set to face sentencing later this year, he’s back in the news again, albeit for a very different reason.
Why the first son is suing Fox News
Earlier this week, Hunter Biden initiated the lawsuit in New York’s Supreme Court. Arguing that Fox News sought to “commercialize” his likeness, ultimately targeting, defaming, and harassing him, the first son is suing for emotional distress and unjust enrichment.
This legal action stems from Fox News airing The Trial of Hunter Biden: A Mock Trial for the American People on its Fox Nation platform. In this show from October 2022, Hunter’s foreign business affairs stood out as the central theme.
