Hunter Biden demands that Fox News remove 'intimate' images from its platforms

Source: CNN Politics

Published 12:01 PM EDT, Mon April 29, 2024


CNN — Hunter Biden is demanding that Fox News remove from its platforms sexually explicit images that President Joe Biden’s son says are private, according to a letter obtained by CNN, as part of his strategy to publicly fight back against conservative media.

The letter sent by attorneys for Hunter Biden to Fox News and FOX Corp. alleges conspiracy to defame and unlawful publication of “hacked” images, seeking corrections and retractions on air and in online articles to claims that President Biden and his son engaged in a bribery scheme abroad.

Hunter Biden’s legal team has undertaken an aggressive legal and public relations strategy for several months. His lawyers have fired off letters demanding investigations into Hunter Biden’s opponents and filed a series of lawsuits against his detractors. Hunter Biden’s lawyers say they “anticipate” suing Fox but have not yet done so.

This stepped-up strategy by Hunter Biden to defend himself against the onslaught of attacks initially stoked anxiety among some of President Biden’s political advisers. But the president has publicly defended his son, who separately faces gun and tax charges in Delaware and California. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to those criminal charges. CNN has reached out to Fox News for comment on the letter.

Lawyers for Hunter Biden plan to sue Fox News “imminently,” according to a letter sent to the network and obtained by NBC News.

The letter, dated April 23, puts the Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital on notice for litigation claims arising from the network’s alleged “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.”

Biden has hired attorney Mark Geragos and his firm to represent him in the Fox litigation efforts. The letter is the second outreach to Fox this month. An earlier letter was hand-delivered to Fox’s counsel two weeks ago, and the network asked for more time to respond, according to a source familiar with Biden’s legal efforts. The network has not yet responded to the letter sent April 23, which included a Friday evening, April 26, deadline to respond, according to Geragos. The letter is signed by Tina Glandian, a partner at Geragos & Geragos working on the case.

Fox News did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Hunter Biden finally gets some teeth into the hyenas of anti-liberal media. Take note. There is no such thing as “conservative media” because they are too ignorant to identify the difference between liberalism and conservatism.

All of the rants from Fox News aren’t original thoughts, they’re lies or twisted facts to sell their narrative that sponsors pay them to broadcast. Fuck those sponsors, but that’s a rant for another day.

To the point: I’m gonna label the assholes of Fox and Newsmax, etc as anti-liberal News. Unoriginal, only a snarky reply to a liberal program that benefits us all, and politically treasonous.

That is not conservative they give true conservatives a bad name. Their perpetual whining and grievance party is the opposite of liberal. They simply hate liberals. It has nothing to do with politics.
