Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has filed a lawsuit against former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani over alleged computer fraud and data access violations related to his infamous laptop scandal.
According to CNBC, which obtained access to the lawsuit, the suit also names Robert Costello, a former federal prosecutor who once defended Giuliani, as a defendant.
“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 filing said CNBC reported.
The suit was filed in Los Angeles federal court and alleges Giuliani and Costello were responsible for the “total annihilation” of Biden’s digital privacy and data.
The lawsuit also claims that the data that went to Giuliani and Costello was “manipulated, altered, and damaged.” It goes on to accuse them of being involved in “further alterations and damage to the data.”
This is now the second lawsuit filed by Biden in the last two weeks, as he sued the IRS last week for what he called “unlawful disclosure of [his] confidential tax return information.”
Biden is also facing a federal indictment in Delaware over criminal charges related to his purchase and possession of a handgun while being a drug addict.
