President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is suing former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne for defamation for claiming the president’s son tried to arrange a bribe from the Iranian government.

In a civil complaint filed in California’s Central Federal Court district, Mr. Biden’s legal team alleged Mr. Byrne repeatedly shared what he knew to be false claims about the president’s son.
