Hunter Biden, son of former US President Joe Biden, has filed a countersuit against John Paul Mac Isaac, a computer repair shop owner in Delaware, for allegedly invading his privacy and wrongfully sharing his personal data for political purposes.
According to court filings, Mac Isaac had received a water-damaged laptop from Hunter Biden about 18 months before the 2020 election. Biden’s lawyers allege that Mac Isaac gave the data from the laptop to “political enemies” to help then-President Donald Trump in 2020, and that he intended to use it against then-candidate Joe Biden.
In response, Ronald Poliquin, a lawyer for Mac Isaac in the civil case, has said that his client had no intention of using the data for political purposes. He also said that Mac Isaac had no knowledge of the laptop’s owner when he received it.
Hunter Biden’s lawyers have also notified a federal judge of their intention to seek depositions from Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani, two of former President Trump’s top allies.
The case is ongoing, and the outcome is yet to be determined. It is unclear what implications this case may have for the privacy of individuals in the future.
