Hunter Biden sues former Overstock chief, alleging defamation

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has filed a defamation lawsuit against former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, accusing him of spreading false statements that claimed Biden sought a bribe from Iran.
Biden's attorneys argue that Byrne published false statements suggesting that Biden reached out to the Iranian government, offering to unfreeze $8 billion in Iranian funds in exchange for $800 million. They insist that these statements are completely false and that Byrne knew they were false.
The lawsuit is part of Hunter Biden's more aggressive legal and public relations strategy, as he has also filed lawsuits against Rudy Giuliani, Garrett Ziegler, and the IRS.
