President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden filed a lawsuit Wednesday against former Trump aide Garrett Ziegler for his alleged role in publishing private emails and images from the infamous laptop.
Ziegler is accused in the suit of improperly "accessing, tampering with, manipulating, altering, copying and damaging computer data that they do not own," in violation of California's computer fraud laws.
According to ABC News, the lawsuit claims that Ziegler and 10 unidentified others obtained Hunter's data and disseminated "tens of thousands of emails, thousands of photos, and dozens of videos and recordings" on the internet.
The first son is requesting a jury trial to determine appropriate damages.
"While Defendant Ziegler is entitled to his extremist and counterfactual opinions, he has no right to engage in illegal activities to advance his right-wing agenda," wrote attorneys for Hunter Biden, according to the outlet. "Yet that is precisely what Defendant Ziegler and his so-called 'nonprofit research group' ... have done."
Neither Ziegler or his attorneys have responded to the lawsuit.
