President Biden could find himself roped into his son’s legal woes as an ongoing defamation case against Hunter Biden slowly makes its way through the courts and both sides gear up for discovery, legal experts told The Post.
John Paul Mac Isaac, a Delaware computer repairman, filed a suit against Hunter Biden and President Biden’s campaign committee on March 1 claiming the pair sought to falsely cast the contents of Hunter’s laptop as “Russian disinformation.”
Hunter Biden dropped off his laptop at Mac Isaac’s computer repair store in Delaware in April 2019 and never returned for it.
The computer drive - containing years worth of compromising professional and personal data - eventually made its way to former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, who provided it to The Post.
Experts warn discovery will be fraught with peril for Hunter Biden - and could potentially rope in the president - who is expected to be locked in a fierce battle for reelection in 2024.
“[Hunter Biden] is subject to discovery,” said Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz.
“Discovery is very broad. It would include emails, texts with his father, and potentially all the contents of [Hunter’s] computer, even that which hasn’t yet been revealed. So it’s a very risky decision to get involved in litigation when you might have things to hide.”
Dershowitz added that President Biden could “technically be subject to a deposition” but said that it would ultimately be a question for the judge in the case.
**SNIP**
It notes at least one instance where then-candidate Joe Biden falsely insisted the laptop was “disinformation from the Russians.”

The law would certainly make it so, but the law can’t be counted on any longer. Judges can do whatever they want to do, for whatever reasons they want. We are seeing people jailed for political reasons, and they can be held without bail and denied a trial. And they are denied exculpatory evidence and the right to confront their accusers. The rule of law is on life support, and is completely unreliable.
No, no, no. This case isn’t about the e-mails about corruption and grift. It’s about Hunter’s recipes and pictures of his children that he was sharing with Hillary. Anything else is disinformation, and/or Russian propaganda.
