- Hunter Biden’s lawyers are asking the Justice Department to open a criminal inquiry into some of former President Donald Trump’s top allies over his laptop
- Lawyer Abbe Lowell asked the DOJ to probe Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani’s lawyer and the owner of the Wilmington computer store
- Hunter Biden never consented to having his personal information from the laptop shared, Lowell argued
Hunter Biden is going on the offense with his lawyers now asking the Justice Department to investigate former President Donald Trump‘s allies, who peddled his laptop’s hard drive to media outlets in the run-up to the 2020 election.
The first son’s lawyer Abbe Lowell asked the DOJ to probe former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, campaign lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani’s lawyer and the owner of the Wilmington computer repair shop, John Paul Mac Isaac, who obtained the laptop in April 2019.
Using passages from Mac Isaac’s book, American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth, Lowell notes that Mac Isaac sent a copy of the laptop data to Giuliani’s lawyer Robert Costello who turned it over to the ex-mayor, who at the time was pushing discredited theories about the younger Biden.
