The 42-page counterclaim was filed in Delaware federal court on Friday and names John Paul Mac Isaac as the defendant. Mac Isaac has long claimed that the laptop was dropped off at his repair shop, the Mac Shop, by a man who identified himself as Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden is suing Mac Isaac on six counts of invasion of privacy over the circumstances that led to the data from the laptop being spread far and wide across the internet and in certain publications.
The filing goes on to allege that the data was shared with various individuals – including relatives of the repairman, Giuliani’s own attorney Robert Costello, and Steve Bannon. Additionally, the filing says that “likely several copies” of the laptop’s contents were made. All of this was done, the counterclaim insists, without the owner’s permission.
