Hunter Biden is preparing to sue Fox News on grounds of defamation. His lawyers plan to take legal action against the network “imminently.” The allegations against Fox News include:
Conspiracy and Defamation: Fox News is accused of engaging in a conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Hunter Biden. The network allegedly painted him in a false light through its coverage.
Unlawful Exploitation: Fox News is also accused of unlicensed commercial exploitation of Hunter Biden’s image, name, and likeness. Additionally, the network unlawfully published hacked intimate images of him.

Meanwhile, Fox News has pulled down a six-part series in which it staged a mock trial of hypothetical criminal charges against Hunter Biden after the president's son threatened to sue the network.
The series, which was first posted on the cable network's right-wing streaming service back in October 2022, was removed only a day after Biden's legal team publicly made its threat. Biden says the network defamed him, among other accusations.
"We are reviewing the concerns that have just been raised and — out of an abundance of caution in the interim — have taken it down," Fox News Media said in acknowledging the decision Tuesday afternoon.
The media giant's move came just hours after it released a statement denouncing Biden's accusations, describing its coverage of him as within its constitutional rights.
