After losing his business and enduring harassment for 18 months, the Delaware computer repairman who exposed the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop filed a multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit on Tuesday against CNN, the Daily Beast, Politico, and Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, saying they falsely accused him of spreading Russian propaganda.
“After fighting to reveal the truth, all I want now is for the rest of the country to know that there was a collective and orchestrated effort by social and mainstream media to block a real story with real consequences for the nation,” John Paul Mac Isaac, 45, told the New York Post.
“This was collusion led by 51 former pillars in the intelligence community and backed by words and actions of a politically motivated DOJ and FBI,” he said. “I want this lawsuit to reveal that collusion and, more importantly, who gave the marching orders.”
Mac Isaac became the legal owner of the laptop after President Joe Biden’s son Hunter abandoned it at the shop in April 2019. The laptop’s contents have raised questions about what Biden knew about his son’s foreign business dealings.
Mac Isaac gave a copy of the laptop’s hard drive to the FBI in December 2019 and made then-President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani aware of its existence eight months later. Giuliani provided a copy of the drive to the New York Post.
After the publication of the Post’s first story on the laptop in October 2020, Twitter and Facebook moved to censor it, and Schiff and 51 former intelligence officials labeled it Russian disinformation.
“Twitter initially labeled my action hacking, so for the first day after my information was leaked, I was bombarded with hate mail and death threats revolving around the idea that I was a hacker, a thief and a criminal,” Mac Isaac said.
