The owner of the Delaware computer repair shop where Hunter Biden left his laptop, leading to the exposé on the New York Post, is suing Twitter for defamation. His first lawsuit, that we covered at the time, was dismissed over jurisdiction issues.

“Plaintiff is not a hacker and the information obtained from the computer does not constitute hacked materials because Plaintiff lawfully gained access to the computer, first with the permission of its owner, Biden, and then, after Biden failed to retrieve the recovered data despite Plaintiff’s reuses, in accordance with the Mac Shop’s abandoned property police,” the defendant’s attorney argued in the lawsuit, filed in the same court that rejected the first.

Mac Isaac is suing because he claims, by alleging the hacking, Twitter cost him his business and was even forced to close as most people now consider him a hacker. Isaac is suing for defamation damages of not less than $75,000. The exact settlement will be discussed after he wins the lawsuit.

“Plaintiff, as a direct result of Defendant Twitter’s actions and statements, is now widely considered a hacker,” Isaac’s lawyers continued to argue in the lawsuit. The defense also added that Twitter should have considered, or even knew, that, by alleging the emails were obtained illegally, they would cause the plaintiff harm.

The plaintiff’s lawyer also noted that Twitter’s actions were politically motivated.
