Delaware PC repair shop owner seeks dismissal of Hunter Biden counterclaims

Former Delaware PC repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac has asked a state court to dismiss claims against him from Hunter Biden levied in response to a defamation suit that he brought against the first son.

In a Thursday filing obtained by Just the News, Mac Isaac's legal team asserted that Biden's counterclaim "seeks to impose liability" on Mac Isaac "for performing services that Biden hired him to do" and for providing information recovered from his laptop to law enforcement and the president of the United States.

"Biden’s allegations are nothing more than political talking points under the guise of legal arguments," Mac Isaac's counsel wrote. The filing states that Biden gave Mac Isaac permission to access the laptop's files. It further contends that Mac Isaac made numerous attempts to contact the younger Biden but that he never returned to pick up the laptop.

As Biden never paid Mac Isaac for his services and left the device at his shop for more than 90 days, the filing notes that contractually the device became his property.

The filing further notes that the two-year statute of limitations has passed for many of the alleged infractions to which Biden has pointed.

"John Paul Mac Isaac respectfully requests that the Court dismiss the counterclaims against John Paul Mac Isaac with prejudice," the filing concludes.
