Hunter Biden is suing Fox News over a fictional mock trial series, which included intimate images and an alleged distortion of truth that the lawsuit argues is “damaging” to President Joe Biden’s son.

The suit, filed Sunday in New York state Supreme Court and obtained by TheWrap, claims that “The Trial of Hunter Biden” — which first came out in 2022 and has since been removed from the platform — “intentionally manipulates the facts, distorts the truth, narrates happenings out of context and invents dialogue intended to entertain.”

Biden is suing for infliction of emotional distress and for any profits made from the miniseries due to unjust enrichment.
