President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, arrived for a deposition in Delaware on Thursday morning as part of an ongoing civil lawsuit with laptop repairman John Paul Mac Isaac. Arriving in a two-SUV entourage around 8:54 a.m., Biden quickly entered the building, accompanied by what seemed to be a female security detail.
This legal battle began in October 2022 when Mac Isaac sued Biden for defamation. Biden subsequently countersued in March 2023, alleging six counts of invasion of privacy and claiming Mac Isaac illegally disseminated his private data.
The core of the dispute revolves around three laptops that Mac Isaac asserts were left at his repair shop in 2019 by a man he believes to be Hunter Biden. Mac Isaac stated he initiated a keyword search of the laptop's emails after the customer failed to retrieve the devices within the stipulated 90-day period and became unreachable.
This case is just one piece of a larger puzzle of legal challenges facing both Hunter and President Biden. Recent reports detailing text messages purportedly from Hunter suggest President Biden's presence during negotiations with a Chinese businessman. These messages, allegedly sent to Harvest Fund Management CEO Henry Zhao, indicate Hunter used his father's presence as leverage in the business dealings. President Biden has denied any involvement in his son's overseas business ventures.
Adding to the complexity, Hunter Biden recently agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax in a separate case. He also entered a pretrial diversion agreement regarding a charge of firearm possession by a person with a substance addiction. The duration of Thursday's deposition remains unknown.
