Hunter Biden ends second attempt to sue Fox News, voluntarily dismisses lawsuit

Hunter Biden has once again voluntarily dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News.

The suit accused the conservative-leaning network of airing explicit images of him during their 2022 miniseries that included a “mock trial.” Attorneys for the former first son claim that the network engaged in the sharing of “revenge porn,” but did not give any reason for dropping the case.

Fox News gave a statement to CNN celebrating the decision to abandon the case.

“We are pleased to move on now that Hunter Biden has finally voluntarily withdrawn this meritless case which proved to be nothing more than a politically motivated stunt,” the outlet said.

More from CNN:

The Fox series highlighted Hunter Biden’s lucrative business deals in Ukraine and China, which he pursued his father was vice president. It also delved into his admitted struggles with drug abuse and alcoholism. The program also featured some intimate images of Hunter Biden with various women, which appeared to originate from his infamous laptop.

After he threatened a lawsuit in April 2024, the miniseries was taken down from the Fox Nation streaming site. He sued Fox anyway last summer, dropped the case after a few weeks, filed a new lawsuit in October, and dropped that case on Friday. In a court filing, his lawyers said he was dropping the case “with prejudice,” meaning he can’t file it again.
