Patrick Byrne, a millionaire businessman, founder of the online retailer Overstock.com and loyal ally to President Donald Trump, was ordered Friday to pay Hunter Biden $1.7 million in punitive damages over false claims, The Guardian reported Saturday.
Byrne, a prominent 2020 election denier, previously accused Biden of having sought a bribe from the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2021. Biden sued Byrne for defamation in 2023, and on Friday, U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson ruled that Byrne had made his false claims with actual malice and ordered the MAGA millionaire to fork over nearly $2 million.
The evidence of Defendants hostility toward Plaintiff indicates bias and a particular motive for dishonesty in this case, reads Wilsons ruling, made in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
