A federal judge on Friday awarded Hunter Biden nearly $2 million in punitive damages in a case surrounding allegations that he sought an $800 million bribe from Iran. 

The order from U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson, a Reagan appointee, means Biden is set to receive $1.7 million after he filed a defamation dispute against former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne. The development marks a key legal win for former President Joe Biden’s son, who has recently made a concerted effort to rebuild his image after being scrutinized for years over concerns he illegally capitalized on his family name in corrupt international business deals, particularly in Ukraine and China.
