Lawyer Hunter Biden ousts laptop repairman over leak

Global Courant

Hunter Biden attorney Abbe Lowell dropped off John Paul Mac Isaac — the owner of a computer repair shop who turned over a laptop belonging to the president’s son to authorities and members of the press — Thursday in Delaware, a person familiar with the case to Fox News.

The development was first reported by Axios and is part of a countersuit that President Biden’s son has filed against Isaac, alleging he illegally distributed Hunter’s personal information and accuses him of six counts of invasion of privacy .

In 2020, Isaac said a man he believed to be Hunter Biden dropped off three laptops at his store in April 2019, only one of which was salvageable. While repairing the laptop, Isaac said he discovered interfering material.

The customer did not return for the laptop within 90 days and Isaac was unable to contact him. Isaac said he first searched the emails by keyword in June or July 2019.

According to Isaac’s account, the FBI first made a forensic copy of the laptop and returned it weeks later with a subpoena and seized the laptop.
