Ex-Overstock CEO says Hunter Biden is basically just calling him ‘a right-wing nutjob’ in order to keep his Iran-themed defamation lawsuit afloat

A certain level of mystery has been injected into a long-running lawsuit between former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne and Hunter Biden in a flurry of back-and-forth motions filed on Friday. Still, the animus in the case is clear.

The precise nature of the latest legal dispute is necessarily being kept under wraps because of how the motions practice occurred.

Attorneys for the presidential son filed an ex parte motion “for an Order Granting Sanctions Against Defendant and/or an Adverse Inference Instruction” under seal along with 26 exhibits.

The businessman’s attorney quickly fired back to protest the request and the approach taken by the plaintiff in an opposition motion.
