Hunter Sues Fox Over Mock Trial

President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden sued conservative news outlet Fox News on Monday for publishing nude photos and videos of him in a fictionalized "mock trial" miniseries focused on his foreign business dealings.

Hunter Biden alleges Fox violated New York state's so-called revenge porn law, which makes it illegal to publish intimate images of a person without their consent. He is also suing for unjust enrichment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Good luck with that. The photos aren't 'revenge porn,' and they relate to someone who is very much as 'public person' in the Sullivan standard. Public persons don't get to sue over 'emotional distress' from public discussion of their actions, a point settled in the Hustler case. This is just a PR stunt, and it's probably going to get tossed as soon as it gets challenged.
