Byrne, a prominent<\/u> 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 \u201cactual malice\u201d and the MAGA millionaire to fork over nearly $2 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe evidence of Defendant\u2019s hostility toward Plaintiff indicates bias and a particular motive for dishonesty in this case,\u201d reads Wilson\u2019s , made in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverall, in the totality of circumstances, by far the most plausible explanation is that Defendant is not credible, fabricates awesome and farfetched narratives to garner attention in the media, and fabricated the defamatory story at issue in this case to damage Plaintiff\u2019s reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the ruling, Byrne had failed to appear for a jury trial in October, per The Guardian, an incident cited by Wilson in his Friday ruling as having delayed proceedings \u201cat the expense\u201d of Biden.<\/p>\n

Byrne was also ordered to pay around $35,000 in court sanctions to Biden, The Guardian reported.<\/p>\n

Wilson also cited Byrne\u2019s past behavior in his ruling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe behavior \u2013 expressing hostility and malice toward a prominent public figure by repeatedly and intentionally damaging his reputation through the repeated publication of accusations that the individual engaged in high-stakes criminal activity with extensive implications internationally \u2013 is precisely what Defendant was already found liable for in Canada,\u201d Wilson\u2019s ruling reads. \u201cYet Defendant has persisted in that behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
