Delaware Repairman Sues CNN, Adam Schiff For Defamation Over Hunter Biden Laptop Story

A Delaware repairman first reporting Hunter Biden’s laptop sued CNN, Politico and The Daily Beast and Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff on Tuesday for defamation.

The former owner of the repair shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, filed suit after losing his business and for his negative treatment by the media and Big Tech, the New York Post reported. Mac Isaac came to legally own Biden’s laptop after he abandoned it in the shop in April 2019, which has been confirmed to contain several files disclosing his foreign business dealings.

Mac Isaac contacted former President Donald Trump’s then-lawyer Rudy Giuliani and handed the hard drive to the FBI, the Post reported. After the reports reached the public, he said his business had been ruined.

The former repair shop owner filed the suit in Montgomery County, Maryland, claiming Schiff and CNN defamed him in an interview two days after the New York Post began publishing reports on the laptop. His lawyer, Brian Della Rocca, said his client is seeking at least $1 million in compensatory damages and an unspecified larger amount in punitive damages.
