A federal judge on Wednesday ordered former Overstock.com CEO and adamant 2020 election denier Patrick Byrne in default after he stopped defending himself in the defamation lawsuit brought by Hunter Biden that was headed to trial next week.
U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson ordered Byrne in default at the request of Bidens attorneys and vacated the Oct. 14 trial date.
The order opens the door for a default judgment against the Florida-based millionaire, whom Hunter Biden sued over repeated claims that Biden sought an $800 million bribe from Iran in exchange for the thaw of $8 billion in Iranian funds frozen in a South Korean bank account by his father President Joe Bidens administration.
...
Biden is seeking $1 in nominal damages for his defamation per se claim, which doesnt require proof of emotional or reputational harm from Byrnes accusations. However, he also aims to pursue punitive damages, citing what he says is Byrnes malice in spreading a false bribery story.
