Hunter Biden files lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani and ex-prosecutor over laptop.

Hunter Biden Sues Rudy Giuliani Over Laptop Scandal

In a dramatic legal move, Hunter Biden has filed a lawsuit ⁢against Rudy Giuliani, accusing the former lawyer of President​ Trump of being ⁢at the center of a relentless attack on his digital privacy.⁤ The lawsuit alleges that Giuliani played a key role in the “total annihilation” of Biden’s‍ data and personal information related‌ to his infamous laptop computer.

Biden’s legal team filed ⁣a 15-page complaint ‌ in‍ the U.S. District Court for ⁣the Central District of California, naming not only Giuliani⁤ but also⁣ his companies, as well as attorney and former federal ⁤prosecutor Robert Costello. The lawsuit accuses them ‍of violating the federal Computer Fraud and ⁤Abuse Act.

Seeking​ justice, Biden’s attorneys are requesting a court ​order to prevent the Defendants from accessing, tampering with, manipulating, or copying Biden’s data. They also demand the return of any content ⁢related to the laptop‌ to the ⁤president’s son.

Defendants’ Obsession with ​Biden’s Data

“For the past many⁤ months and even years, Defendants‌ have dedicated an extraordinary amount of time and energy toward looking for, ​hacking into, tampering with,⁢ manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over data ⁢that they⁤ were given that was taken or stolen from Plaintiff’s devices or storage platforms, including what Defendants claim to have obtained from Plaintiff’s alleged ‘laptop’ computer,” Biden’s attorneys wrote in​ the complaint.

The ⁢lawsuit also reveals ‌that the defendants have admitted their possession of the content ​came from an⁢ “external drive” rather than the actual laptop that was reportedly left at a⁢ computer repair ⁣shop in Delaware in 2019. According to the suit, the data was ‍”manipulated, altered, and ⁤damaged” before being copied and sent to Giuliani and Costello. The extent of the alterations and damage remains unknown to Hunter‌ Biden.

In the weeks‌ leading up to the 2020 election, Giuliani shared emails, pictures, videos, and other data from Hunter’s laptop with the New York Post.⁢ This information implicated President Joe Biden⁤ in ⁤a ⁤Ukrainian business deal involving Hunter during his father’s time as Vice President in the Obama administration.

Initially, Hunter ‌Biden denied any connection to the laptop, suggesting it was hacked, stolen, or part of a Russian disinformation campaign. However, he later admitted in an interview with CBS that it “certainly” could have belonged to him. Furthermore, during a criminal probe, Biden⁢ finally acknowledged that the scandalous laptop⁣ was indeed his.

“Hunter Biden has previously refused to admit ownership of the laptop,” said Ted Goodman, spokesman for‍ Giuliani, in a ⁢statement to CNBC.

“I’m not surprised he’s now ⁤falsely claiming his laptop hard drive⁤ was manipulated by Mayor Giuliani, considering the sordid material and⁢ potential evidence of crimes ⁢on that thing,” Goodman added.

House Republicans have recently launched a formal ⁤impeachment‌ inquiry ‍ against Biden, accusing him of using his vice presidency to obstruct Ukrainian investigations. ‌GOP officials also allege that millions of dollars were funneled to members of Biden’s family by ‍foreign nationals.

Despite these allegations, Biden has consistently maintained that he never discussed foreign business dealings‍ with his son.

This lawsuit from Hunter Biden follows a separate case filed‌ by his legal team against former Trump White House staffer Garret Ziegler. The lawsuit accuses ⁣Ziegler, the founder of the nonprofit Marco Polo, of violating ‌California and federal computer privacy laws by⁣ publishing thousands of photos and emails from the laptop.

Ziegler, who worked as a policy analyst for Trump, launched ⁤the nonprofit’s website in ​June, aiming to bring “truth‍ and transparency” to⁤ America’s first family by revealing controversial content from the laptop.
