His attorneys have sent letters to prosecutors urging probes of Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon and others
[Hunter Biden] has often heeded the advice of those who urged him not to make public waves. Those close to President Biden and the White House have preferred a more conservative approach, but some individuals around Hunter Biden have wanted to be more assertive in telling his side of the story and going more directly after his opponents.
[And it looks like he's taking that advice and getting more litigious. WRT the OP...]
Biden’s lawyers also claim that he has been defamed by Fox News, in a story that Carlson aired in which he falsely said that Biden had paid $50,000 in “rent” to his father, a scheme that he suggested was being used to funnel money from father to son.
But the reality,
as deconstructed by The Washington Post Fact Checker, [and obvious to people not deranged by confirmation bias] showed that Hunter Biden was actually paying $49,910 every three months for office space in Washington.
Some other outlets, including the Daily Caller, later updated and retracted their stories.
“We demand that you immediately retract these statements by spending a significant of amount of air-time on such retraction,” Sullivan wrote in the letter to Carlson and a Fox News attorney.
[Also interesting was this detail, to the wider Hunter Biden story.]
During the same period [of drug use and alleged laptop servicing], Biden also left a laptop with
Keith Ablow, a Massachusetts-based psychiatrist [his license has now been revoked] who has been close to Republican activist Roger Stone. That laptop was seized by agents who raided Ablow’s office in February 2020, and it was eventually returned to Biden.
Kevin Morris, one of Biden’s friends and associates, has been overseeing a forensic analysis of that laptop to determine if it was the basis of the hard drives that were later distributed by Trump allies.
