(IntegrityTimes.com) – Hunter Biden promptly dropped a lawsuit against Fox News only hours before President Joe Biden announced his decision to step down from his reelection campaign. Following his father’s announcement on July 21, Hunter stated that he had always been in awe of his father. The president’s son added that, be it in the policies he enacted or in the lives he touched, Joe had plenty of kindness left for others despite the amount of heartache he experienced in his lifetime.
Hunter’s lawsuit, which he had filed in June, claimed that the network’s mock trial series published sexually explicit images and videos of him without his consent. The president’s son also accused the network of attempting to “harass” and “humiliate” him and damage his reputation. He claimed that the network’s allegations regarding his drug use, business ventures and purported illegal activities were false.
Hunter’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, claimed in 2017 that the president’s son spent the couple’s money on alcohol, drugs and prostitutes after they separated two years earlier. In the court filing, Buhle asked a Washington DC judge to order Hunter to stop squandering the estranged couple’s remaining assets. An indictment accusing the president’s son of tax evasion makes similar claims that Hunter spent money on drugs and escorts while allegedly failing to pay $1.4 in taxes between 2016 and 2019.
Before Hunter decided to drop the case against the network, a spokesperson for Fox News branded the suit “politically motivated” and baseless. The network had already taken the miniseries – dubbed “the Trial of Hunter Biden” – off its platforms in April after the president’s son threatened to sue. A person aware of Hunter’s legal strategy claimed to reporters that his legal team dropped the case with the intention to refile it against new defendants. The sexually graphic series aimed to depict how a trial linked to the numerous allegations would look, according to the network.
Hunter accused the makers of the series of deliberately distorting the facts. Though he was found guilty in his gun trial in Delaware, the president’s son has not been convicted yet of any of the charges that serve as the focal point of the network’s series.
