POSE A REAL PROBLEM.
>> JOHN KASICH, DASHA BURNS,
THANK YOU BOTH.
AND WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS NOW.
NBC NEWS HAS LEARNED THAT HUNTER
BIDEN IS PLANNING TO SUE FOX
NEWS.
DOORD TO A LETTER FROM HIS
LAWYERS, THE LAWSUIT IS
IMMINENT.
AND RYAN NOBLES IS JOINING ME
NOW.
WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL US?
>> Reporter: THIS IS A LETTER
OBTAINED BY SARAH FITZPATRICK
THAT COMES FROM THE NEW ATTORNEY
THAT HUNTER BIDEN HAS ENTERED
INTO A CONTRACT WITH,
ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER MARK GUERRA
GERAGOS
GERAGOS.
AND HE SENDS A WARNING TO FOX
NEWS THAT THEY ARE PREPARING TO
SUE THE COMPANY FOR WHAT THEY
DESCRIBE AS CONSPIRACY AND SUBS
SEQUENCE ACTIONS TO DEFAME MR.
BIDEN AND PAINT HIM IN A FALSE
LIGHT AS WELL AS THE UNLICENSED
COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION OF HIS
IMAGE, NAME AND LIKENESS AND
UNLAWFUL PUBLICATION OF HACKED
INTIMATE IMAGES OF HIM.
THIS OF COURSE STEMS FROM THE
FACT THAT OF COURSE HUNTER BIDEN
HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS QUITE A BIT
THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE
OF HIS LEGAL ISSUES AND OF
COURSE THE BROAD IMPEACHMENT
INQUIRY THAT IS TAKING PLACE BY
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
ESSENTIALLY WHAT GERAGOS IS
ARGUING IN THIS LETTER, IT IS
ACTUALLY A MEMBER OF HIS LEGAL
TEAM ARGUING IN THIS LETTER,
THAT FOX IS UNFAIRLY AND LINE
LIBELLESSLY ATTACKING HUNTER
BIDEN WHEN THERE IS NO MERIT TO
THE CLAIMS.
THIS OF COURSE COMES AT THE SAME
TIME HUNTER BIDEN IS FACING
LEGAL ISSUES OF HIS OWN.
HE IS ON THE VERGE OF FACING TWO
DIFFERENT CRIMINAL TRIALS, ONE
IN DELAWARE ON A GUN CHARGE,
ANOTHER SEPARATE CRIMINAL TRIAL
IN CALIFORNIA THAT IS RELATED TO
TAX ISSUES.
BOTH OF THOSE TRIALS CAME AS A
RESULT OF A PLEA DEAL WITH THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT FELL
APART.
SO THIS IS HUNTER BIDEN GOING ON
THE OFFENSIVE.
OF COURSE HE IS A FAVORITE TOPIC
OF FOX NEWS OFTEN BROUGHT UP
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
AND WHAT IS DETAILED IN THIS
LETTER IS HOW THEY USE MANY OF
THE IMAGES THAT CAME FROM THE
SO-CALLED LAPTOP THAT WAS
DISCOVERED IN THE MIDST OF THE
2020 CAMPAIGN THAT HAD A NUMBER
OF COMPROMISING AND QUESTIONABLE
AND SOMEWHAT LEWD IMAGES OF
HUNTER BIDEN THAT HAVE BEEN USED
OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON FOX NEWS.
THE ARGUMENT HERE IS THAT THEY
WERE OBTAINED ILLEGALLY, THEY
SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN USED IN A
FORM SUCH AS THIS.
AND ALSO THEY ARE HIS PROPERTY
AND THEY ARE ARGUING THAT FOX
NEWS WAS USING THEM IN-PROENTS
INAPPROPRIATELY
INAPPROPRIATELY.
AGAIN THIS, IS NOT THE ACTUAL
FILING OF THE LAWSUIT YET.
THIS IS JUST A THREAT TO FILE A
LAWSUIT.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HIS LEGAL
TEAM HAS WARNED FOX WAS COMING
AT SOME POINT.
SO THEY ARE NOW LETTING THEM
KNOW DEFINITIVELY THAT THIS
LAWSUIT COULD COME SOON.
AND OF COURSE WE SHOULD ALSO
POINT OUT THIS IS AGAINST THE
BACKDROP OF COURSE OF FOX
SETTLING THE MASSIVE LAWSUIT
WITH THE DOMINION VOTING COMPANY
WHO ACCUSED THEM OF LIBELLING
THEM DURING THE AFTERMATH OF THE
2020 ELECTION.
SO THIS IS HUNTER BIDEN
ESSENTIALLY TAKING THE SAME
