The lawsuit was the latest in a new strategy by Hunter Biden to strike back against Republican allies of Donald Trump, who have traded and passed around his private data.
The suit in California federal court accuses Garrett Ziegler of improperly “accessing, tampering with, manipulating, altering, copying and damaging computer data.”Ted Goodman, a political advisor to Giuliani, said it was false to claim Giuliani manipulated the laptop hard drive, but he was “not surprised ... considering the sordid material and potential evidence of crimes on that thing.”
Costello declined to comment. In February, he told the Associated Press that a letter from Hunter Biden’s lawyers that requested a Justice Department investigation of him and others related to the laptop was a “frivolous legal document” that “reeks of desperation because they know judgment day is coming for the Bidens.”, which began with a New York Post story in October 2020 that detailed some of the emails it says were found on the device related to Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.
House Republicans, meanwhile, have continued to investigate every aspect of Hunter Biden’s business dealings and sought to tie them to his father, the president, as part of an impeachment inquiry. A hearing on Thursday is expected to detail some of their claims anew.
