Hunter Biden drops lawsuit against Fox News over miniseries

• The program, "The Trial of Hunter Biden: A Mock Trial for the American People," was later taken down from the Fox Nation streaming platform after Biden threatened to sue over the miniseries in April, per Axios' Jacob Knutson.

State of play: Hunter Biden's lawyers alleged in the suit that Fox News sought to "harass, annoy, alarm, and humiliate" him by publishing the images and preventing viewers from deciphering "what is fact and what is fiction," but on Sunday they filed a notice of voluntary dismissal "without prejudice."

• A spokesperson for Fox News Media, which owns Fox News, in an emailed statement Sunday reiterated the company's comments made in response to the lawsuit when it was filed earlier this month that the suit was "entirely politically motivated" and "devoid of merit."
• Hunter Biden is also currently seeking the dismissal of cases against him in Delaware and California, citing the "unconstitutional" appointment of special counsel David Weiss following the dismissal of former President Trump's indictment in the classified documents case.

• Hunter Biden was convicted earlier this month in his federal gun trial in Delaware and is due to stand trial in California over federal tax charges in September.
