Hunter Biden sued former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and another attorney over alleged violations of computer fraud and data access related to a laptop computer Biden is said to have left at a Delaware repair shop.
Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has for several years been the target of attacks by Giuliani and other right-wing figures over the alleged contents of that computer.
Hunter Biden’s lawsuit also names as defendants Giuliani’s companies and Robert Costello, an attorney who previously represented Giuliani.
“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,” the suit alleges.
