Tony Bobulinski, a former associate of Hunter Biden who recently testified against President Joe Biden in the GOP-led House impeachment inquiry, filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov on Thursday.
The complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, seeks $30 million in damages from the liberal pundit over comments she made on Fox News about Bobulinski and his legal representation. Stefan Passantino, a lawyer for Bobulinski, is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit.
Following Bobulinski’s public testimony in an impeachment hearing last week, Tarlov said during the March 20 broadcast of The Five that a Donald Trump-associated political action committee had paid Bobulinski’s legal fees. Tarlov, however, issued a clarification the following day after Bobulinski’s attorney Jesse Binnall demanded a retraction and apology.
