Cassandra Fairbanks at The Gateway Pundit shared the news about Patrick Byrne's lawsuit with Hunter Biden.

She shared:

A federal judge has awarded Hunter Biden $1.7 million in punitive damages plus additional sanctions against former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne over statements he had made linking the Biden family to an alleged scheme involving Iranian assets and the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.
The ruling, handed down on Friday by District Judge Stephen Wilson in California, came after Byrne repeatedly stood by claims that Hunter Biden had pledged to influence his father, then-President Joe Biden, to unfreeze $8 billion in Iranian assets in exchange for an $800 million bribe.

The judge found that Byrne's comments went beyond protected speech and showed intent to harm Hunter Biden's reputation.

Byrne continued to stand by the allegations throughout the lawsuit, a point the judge took issue with in his ruling.
