Hunter hits back: President’s son sues laptop repairman over privacy breach, claims he had no right to share hard drive as first family investigation heats up
- Hunter Biden sued Wilmington computer repair store owner for breach of privacy over distribution of content from his laptop
- Lawyers for the first son filed a countersuit Friday in U.S. District Court in Delaware against merchant John Paul Mac Isaac
- Lawyers argued the sole purpose of distributing Biden’s information was to ’cause harm and embarrassment’
Hunter Biden has sued the owner of the Wilmington computer repair store for invasion of privacy, after he turned over the contents of Biden’s laptop to allies of former President Donald Trump.
John Paul Mac Isaac had previously sued Biden, but in a counterclaim filed Friday morning in U.S. District Court in Delaware, attorneys for the first son said the trader had no legal right to copy and distribute private information. .
“As a result of Mac Isaac’s illegal deal and conspiracy with others, Mr. Biden’s personal data was made available to third parties and eventually to the general public, which is highly offensive, causing harm to Mr. Biden and his reputation,” the suit says. “The purpose of invading Mr. Biden’s privacy and releasing his data was not for a legitimate purpose but to cause harm and embarrassment to Mr. Biden.”
The lawsuit comes after Mac Isaac sued Biden last year, accusing him of being defamed by the first son’s claims that the repair shop owner illegally accessed his data.
Mac Isaac argues that Biden left the laptop at the Wilmington store and therefore became his property.

The contents of the laptop became an embarrassment to President Joe Biden’s White House, with images and videos showing Hunter Biden using drugs and having sex.
The content has also drawn interest from Republican congressional investigators, who are investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals with partners in Ukraine and China.
