Hunter Biden Sued for Defamation by Delaware Laptop Repairman Days Before He Seeks Criminal Probe for 'Theft' of Personal Data
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, was sued for defamation by the Delaware computer repair shop owner who came into possession of his controversial laptop.
According to the New York Post, Hunter was served with a defamation lawsuit by John Paul Mac Isaac last Friday or five days before the president's son sought a federal investigation into former President Donald Trump's allies and the Wilmington computer repair shop owner.
Mac Isaac reportedly hired a private investigator to track down Hunter to serve him with the lawsuit, and the detective found the president's son in Culver City, California, last week.
"It was very difficult to find where he was... We finally tracked him down, and we were able to serve him last week... And now all of a sudden, we see this," Brian Della Rocca, a lawyer representing Mac Isaac, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday.
The lawyer was referring to the letters sent out by Hunter's lawyer pleading for a criminal investigation into Mac Isaac and Trump's allies who allegedly disseminated the president's son's personal data from his laptop.
Hunter Biden's camp has since accused Mac Isaac of illegally accessing the laptop, so the latter sued the president's son, seeking $75,000 in damages in the defamation case.
Mac Isaac's lawyer believed Hunter directed his lawyer to seek a criminal probe against his client as payback. Della Rocca noted that the call to bring charges against Mac Isaac was directly linked to his client suing the president's son.
"He's trying to intimidate. And it's interesting to me that this happened when it did," the lawyer told Carlson. He added that Hunter's present actions are desperate attempts to continue to blame others for his own actions.
Della Rocca maintained that Mac Isaac was authorized to access the laptop, as indicated by the document Hunter signed when he dropped the water-damaged laptop in the Wilmington store, Daily Mail reported.
'When Hunter signed the work order, he gave authorization to John Paul to access the information on the laptop in order to recover the data,' the lawyer noted. He also said it was written in the "work order" that Hunter would forfeit the laptop if he failed to return to the store to collect it after three months.
Della Rocca noted that the president's son knew that "once the property was abandoned, The Mac Shop became its owner," as he was told about it.

Hunter Biden Seeks Criminal Probe Into John Paul Mac Isaac, Donald Trump Allies Over His Laptop
Hunter Biden's lawyer asked the Justice Department's National Security Division in a letter Wednesday to investigate Donald Trump's allies and John Paul Mac Isaac, who accessed and disseminated personal data from his controversial laptop.
Some of Trump's allies named in the letter, which Hunter's attorney Abbe Lowell signed, include Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani's own lawyer, and John Paul Mac Isaac, who claimed that Hunter abandoned his laptop at his store. The letter accused Mac Isaac, Giuliani, and others of "theft of computer services" and "possession of stolen property."
The letter noted that Mac Isaac chose to work with Giuliani, who was Trump's lawyer at the time, "to weaponize" Hunter's computer data against his father "by unlawfully causing the provision" of Hunter's personal data to the New York Post, which first wrote about the laptop.
The letter said Giuliani provided the information to a New York Post reporter shortly before the 2020 presidential election and also to Bannon. Hunter's lawyer noted that the president's son never consented to share any of his personal information or be accessed in that manner.
The letter said this "failed dirty political trick directly resulted in the exposure, exploitation, and manipulation" of Hunter's private and personal information. It added that "politicians and the news media have used this unlawfully accessed, copied, distributed, and manipulated data to distort the truth and cause harm" to the president's son.
Hunter's lawyer also wrote the same letter to the Delaware attorney general's office. The president's son is requesting a probe into the same people for allegedly violating several "Delaware laws" in accessing the information from his laptop.
Inside Hunter Biden's Laptop
John Paul Mac Isaac said the man who had given the laptop had come to his shop twice but never returned to get the computer or external hard drive on which its contents had been stored.
He noted that he was not sure whether the man who came to his shop was Hunter Biden. But the man, when asked to fill out a work order, identified himself as "Hunter Biden."
When no one retrieved the laptop's computer or external drive, Mac Isaac then contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation as he started being scared for his safety because he knew what was on the laptop.
The agents then gave him a receipt for what they had taken. The documents reportedly found on Hunter's laptop described the deals he had and how fast he spent his money. Data on his hard drive showed that he spent more than $200,000 per month from October 2017 through February 2018 on luxury rooms, Porsche payments, dental work, and cash withdrawals.
Some of the laptop's contents also allegedly include text messages showing Hunter paying his legal assistant thousands of dollars under the table while they were in a sexual relationship over several months in 2018 and 2019. It also kept photos of him having sex with the assistant in or around June 2018, the New York Post reported.
The assistant is reportedly one of at least four women with who Hunter had sexual relations while they were on his payroll. The laptop's contents also include Joe Biden's involvement in his son's business ventures. Hunter was being investigated by the Justice Department over his finances, including some of his business dealings in China.
Hunter Biden and his father were frequently accused by Donald Trump and his associates of wrongdoing concerning his business dealings in China and Ukraine during the 2020 election campaign. Both allegations were denied, with Joe Biden telling a reporter at the time that it was a "smear campaign."
