Hunter Biden’s lawyers say they plan to sue Fox News ‘imminently’

Lawyers for President Joe Biden’s son Hunter say they plan to sue Fox News “imminently,” according to a letter obtained by NewsNation.

“For the last five years, Fox News has relentlessly attacked Hunter Biden and made him a caricature in order to boost ratings and for its financial gain,” his attorney, Mark Geragos, said in a statement. “The recent indictment of FBI informant (Alexander) Smirnov has exposed the conspiracy of disinformation that has been fueled by Fox, enabled by their paid agents and monetized by the Fox enterprise. We plan on holding them accountable.”

Prosecutors allege Smirnov, 43, falsely told his FBI handler that executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid the president and Hunter Biden about $5 million each around 2015. Smirnov has pleaded not guilty to charges against him. Charging documents say Smirnov provided “false and derogatory information” to federal agents about both Bidens in 2020.
