A superior court judge has dismissed a defamation case from the computer repairman who first got hold of Hunter Biden’s controversial laptop after the first son left it at his shop for more than 90 days.

John Paul Mac Isaac, the Wilmington computer shop owner, argued that he had been defamed by Hunter Biden’s statements, news reports, and Joe Biden’s administration over claims related to Hunter’s laptop being stolen, as well as false rumors that the notorious computer’s existence was a Russian disinformation plot.
Meanwhile, Hunter’s attorneys had argued that he had never explicitly mentioned Mac Isaac by name.
Superior court Judge Robert Robinson Jr. dismissed the case, siding with Hunter’s legal team. Ronald Poliquin, Mac Isaac’s attorney, told the Associated Press (AP) they will be filing an appeal.
“Hunter Biden went on national TV and gaslighted the American public by indicating John Paul Mac Isaac was part of a Russian hoax when he knew it to be false,” Poliquin told the AP. “As the FBI has confirmed, Biden dropped off his laptop at the Mac Shop. Hunter Biden lied and needs to be held accountable.”
The controversial laptop became public in October 2020, after The New York Post published emails containing information about Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine, where his father led the Obama administration’s foreign policy efforts.
In response, 51 former intelligence officials issued a public statement claiming that the laptop story had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” which turned out to be false.
Robinson also dismissed Hunter’s claims that Mac Isaac invaded his privacy.
