Hunter Biden sues Fox News over miniseries, claiming the outlet "distorts the truth"

Lawyers for Hunter Biden, the Biden son clouded by personal controversies and a recent conviction for lying on a form to buy a gun, filed a lawsuit against Fox News on Monday over a miniseries they had posted and then taken down from their digital streaming service. 

The program, titled "The Trial of Hunter Biden," was a six-part docuseries released in 2022 that featured a "mock trial" about overseas financial dealings that landed him in a federal tax indictment.

In April, complaints by Hunter Biden's legal team over sexually explicit images of their client induced the right-wing media network to take the series down. At the time, a Fox News spokesperson said the outlet was "reviewing" concerns about the program and had elected to take it down "out of an abundance of caution in the interim."
