The son of the US president has accused the store owner of invading his privacy by distributing information found on his computer
Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, filed a countersuit on Friday against the owner of the Delaware laptop repair shop where he allegedly dumped his ‘laptop from hell’, alleging a invasion of privacy – but still not admitting that the laptop is in fact his.
Mac Shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac copied and shared Biden’s private data without his permission for personal and commercial purposes, the countersuit alleges, charging the computer repairman with six counts of breaches of privacy. private life. Biden’s attorneys are seeking a jury trial, compensatory and punitive damages, and the return of any Biden data still in the possession of Mac Isaac or anyone he shared it with.
Biden had a “reasonable expectation of privacy” regarding the contents of his computer for a full year after it was abandoned at the Mac Shop, the countersuit argues, citing Delaware state law. While a repair authorization form “allegedly signed by Mr. Biden” agreed to waive any claims for loss or damage after 90 days, the filing points out that Mac Isaac initially said he did not know who dropped off the computer.
Mac Isaac didn’t even wait the 90 days before digging into the data, according to his own book, in which he describes access to footage of Biden engaging in sex acts and taking drugs that plagued him. have brought “uncomfortable.”
Even if the laptop could be considered officially abandoned, the lawsuit continues, Mac Isaac would technically only have possession of the computer itself, not the data stored on it.
Mac Isaac sued Biden, as well as former House Intelligence Committee chief Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), CNN and Politico, for defamation earlier this month.
Biden’s countersuit argues that the comments held to be defamatory — his public statements suggesting the incriminating data found on the laptop from hell could have been hacked or physically stolen by Russian agents – did not name the computer repair shop or its owner and therefore do not qualify as defamation.
The presidential scion also attacked Rudy Giuliani, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, former Trump campaign manager Steve Bannon, and several others, enlisting the Justice Department’s National Security Division to seek out violations of federal law in named parties. ‘copying and sharing “Biden’s personal computer data.”
In the meantime, several Biden family members and associates are being investigated by the House Oversight Committee for accepting payments from Chinese companies in exchange for undefined services.
