Adam Schiff, CNN, and Politico in Delaware state court on Monday. The eight-count complaint alleged claims of defamation, civil conspiracy, and civil aiding and abetting against the defendants based on statements they made after the New York Post published the scandalous materials recovered from Hunter\u2019s laptop.<\/p>\n<p>John Paul Mac Isaac found himself thrust into the public eye after the New York Post on Oct. 14, 2020, published an expos\u00e9 about the contents of the laptop Hunter Biden had abandoned at Isaac\u2019s Delaware computer repair store. No sooner had the news broken than Joe Biden\u2019s presidential campaign and backers of the Democrat candidate called the story Russian disinformation.<\/p>\n<p>While Hunter Biden refused to comment on the story before the November 2020 election, after President Biden found himself safely in the White House, Hunter sat down with CBS News and when asked, \u201cWas that your laptop?\u201d the president\u2019s son <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBSSunday\/status\/1377949486329237512\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">replied<\/a>: \u201cI really don\u2019t know what the answer is. I have no idea.\u201d But when pushed on whether the laptop could be his, Hunter responded: \u201cThere could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me.\u201d \u201cIt could be that I was hacked. It could be that it was the \u2014 that it was Russian intelligence. It could be that it was stolen from me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Isaac\u2019s lawsuit against Hunter alleges that, contrary to Hunter\u2019s claims, he knew the laptop was his, as Hunter knowingly left the laptop with Isaac on April 12, 2019, and then a short time later returned to the store with an external hard drive for Isaac to transfer the data recovered from the laptop hard drive. Yet Hunter \u201cknowingly broadcast the false and defamatory information about his laptop to third parties \u2014 viewers of the interview\u201d that imputed that Isaac was \u201cinvolved in one or more crimes including, theft of his laptop, hacking of his laptop, or being part of a plot by Russian intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Delaware store owner also sued the \u201cBiden for President Campaign Committee,\u201d or \u201cBFPCC,\u201d which served as Joe Biden\u2019s presidential campaign. According to his complaint, the members of the BFPCC claimed the New York Post expos\u00e9 was \u201ca Russian disinformation operation.\u201d A senior Biden campaign adviser would repeat that theme in an interview on MSNBC, saying that if then-President Trump \u201cdecides to amplify these latest smears against the vice president and his only living son, that is Russian disinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden Deputy Campaign Manager Kate Bedingfield, on behalf of BFPCC, likewise said of the information from the laptop \u201cthat what [Trump is] doing here is amplifying Russian misinformation.\u201d And the candidate himself, Joseph R. Biden Jr., the complaint stressed, \u201crepresenting the views of BFPCC,\u201d said, \u201c[t]here are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he\u2019s accusing me of is a Russian plant.
