Hunter Biden’s attempt to have Patrick Byrne answer questions under oath in a year-old defamation lawsuit in California federal court has been frustrated by the former Overstock CEO and 2020 election denier’s recent move to Dubai amid claims of a Venezuelan “bounty on his head,” court documents show.
A joint statement from Biden and Byrne’s attorneys filed last week indicates that the plaintiff and defendant have been unable to agree on where and how Byrne’s deposition will occur.
