Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, has spoken out against what he perceives as Fox News’ efforts to dehumanize him over his struggles with drug addiction. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast, Biden expressed frustration with the network’s coverage of him and threatened to sue Fox News for defamation.
Biden contends that Fox News has attempted to exploit his personal challenges to damage his father’s political career. He has sent a legal letter to the network demanding retractions, apologies, and corrections for stories related to him. His lawyers have indicated that they will file a formal lawsuit shortly.
Fox News defended its coverage of Biden, citing his status as a public figure and noting his involvement in various investigations and legal issues. The network maintains that its reporting has been accurate and constitutionally protected.
Despite the potential challenges of pursuing legal action, Biden remains undeterred. He believes that defamation suits are an opportunity to address false narratives and does not fear reigniting controversies surrounding his past struggles.
The Biden family has a well-documented feud with Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, with President Biden reportedly referring to Murdoch as the “most dangerous man in the world.” Hunter Biden’s daughter, Naomi Biden, also criticized Fox News for attacking her father’s character.
