Hunter Biden has renewed his legal action against Fox News, alleging that the media organization unlawfully displayed explicit images of him in a streaming series.

The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan state court and reflects claims made in a previously withdrawn filing from July, asserting that the unauthorized dissemination of intimate images violates New York’s revenge porn statute, as reported by The Associated Press (AP). These allegations are related to “The Trial of Hunter Biden,” a Fox Nation series that dramatizes a fictional court case against Hunter, which is separate from the actual felony firearms charges he has faced.

The updated lawsuit names both a current and a former executive of Fox as defendants, according to AP. In response, Fox News has sought to move the case to federal court and has characterized the allegations as unfounded.

“The core complaint stems from a 2022 streaming program that Mr. Biden did not complain about until sending a letter in late April 2024,” the Fox statement said, AP reported. “The program was removed within days of that letter, in an abundance of caution, but Hunter Biden is a public figure who has been the subject of multiple investigations and is now a convicted felon.”

Hunter discontinued his legal action against Fox News shortly after President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 re-election campaign in July. The lawsuit had taken issue with the series for portraying Hunter as confronting uncharged allegations, including violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act and bribery.
