Hunter Biden recently testified that he was embarrassed by “offensive” content posted from his laptop after dropping it off for repair at The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Delaware on April 12, 2019, but still denies that the laptop or its content are yours.
The First Son gave confusing and often contradictory testimony under oath on June 29 during a six-hour deposition related to a defamation lawsuit filed by John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of the now-defunct computer repair shop, who accuses Hunter to falsely insist that the laptop was not yours, or was stolen, or that your information was hacked.
Hunter strikes back at Mac Isaac, accusing him of illegally distributing his personal data and invading his privacy.
Parts of Hunter’s statement are revealed for the first time in the opening brief of a motion filed by Mac Isaac, in Delaware Superior Court Thursday night, to dismiss the counterclaim with prejudice.
Hunter refused to admit in his statement that he visited The Mac Shop twice in April 2019, despite Mac Isaac presenting evidence that Hunter signed a work order and provided his contact information.
The bank records that Hunter had to turn over to Mac Isaac’s legal team also show “frequent uses of Wells Fargo ATMs where significant withdrawals were made, all within a few miles of Mac Isaac’s store,” the document says.
Hunter Biden recently testified that he was embarrassed by “offensive” content posted from his laptop.
Although Hunter claimed he has “no knowledge” of his whereabouts on April 12, 2019, “Mac Isaac knows exactly where he was.”
Hunter’s “confusing and dishonest responses are fatal to all of the facts alleged in his counterclaims.”
Hunter claimed he was “embarrassed” by the posting of private material that would be “highly offensive to a reasonable person,” according to the filing, but much of the material that a reasonable person would find most offensive, such as sexually explicit photographs, was “voluntarily shared.” by [Hunter] Biden with others through the ‘Pornhub’ website.…
“The use of the ‘reasonable person’ standard clearly should not be applied to Biden… It seems that what would embarrass a reasonable person does not embarrass Biden.”
Biden refused to admit that the laptop was his. “Either he doesn’t remember it or he’s in complete denial.”
The material on the laptop also shows Hunter’s “lack of concern about using his father’s political ties to cut deals with foreign countries, some of which are considered adversaries of the United States (i.e., the People’s Republic China),” the document states.
In his statement, Hunter also:
- He gave “confusing and dishonest answers” about whether he left the laptop with Mac Isaac on April 12, 2019 or returned a day or two later at Mac Isaac’s request with an external hard drive to which his data could be transferred;
- He refused to admit that the laptop was his. “Either he doesn’t remember it or he denies it completely”;
- “They complained about how embarrassing the content on the laptop was, and at the same time, could not identify what content and if it was even their content”;
- He said he “did not know” that he had received voicemails and emails from Mac Isaac about his laptop asking him to bring an external hard drive, pay the repair bill and collect his property;
- He claimed that he did not give Mac Isaac consent to access the data on his laptop even though he signed a work order;
- He refused to deny that he signed the work order;
- He claimed that the “standard terms of the Authorization to Repair” in the work order fell “well below the signature line” even though he is a trained attorney and signed the document;
- He referred to the Repair Authorization as a “typical small print adhesion clause for which there was no adequate notice and no opportunity to bargain or negotiate.” But, according to the record, the text “is not abnormally small” and is the same size as the rest of the work order.

Hunter abandoned his laptop at Mac Isaac’s store in April 2019 and never returned to pick it up or pay his bill, despite Mac Isaac’s multiple attempts to contact him by phone and email.
“After obtaining the rights to the laptop pursuant to the contract signed by Biden, Mac Isaac became uncomfortable with the apparently illegal activities listed on the laptop.
“As he was taught at the Apple Store and in accordance with his own beliefs, he contacted the FBI. Shortly thereafter, on December 9, 2019, Mac Isaac turned the laptop, original hard drive, and original work order over to the FBI.”
The FBI verified the authenticity of Hunter’s abandoned laptop in November 2019 by matching the device’s number to Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID,” IRS Supervisory Agent Gary Shapley testified before Congress in June.
An FBI computer expert assessed that the laptop was “not tampered with in any way” and could be used as evidence, Shapley said.
The IRS investigation into Hunter also accessed financial records showing he was in a tobacco store near MacIsaac’s store in Wilmington, Delaware, the day the laptop was delivered.
