Hunter Biden’s computer data, long a source of national scrutiny, is now a central feature in his various legal battles, but the first son is handling the data in different ways depending on the case, according to his court filings.
Biden is aiming to prove data belongs to him in a lawsuit against former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler and his company Marco Polo. Meanwhile in Delaware, Biden has distanced himself from his computer data and said he will fight to suppress it in a criminal case brought by special counsel David Weiss.
Last fall, Biden sued Ziegler, alleging he gained unauthorized access to Apple iCloud backup data and copies of an external hard drive.
The first son’s laptop and hard drive, which he abandoned at a Delaware repair shop in 2019, first made headlines in 2020 when various operatives obtained copies of them and provided the material to the New York Post to publish ahead of the presidential election his father was running in.
Biden was asked directly if the laptop the New York Post wrote about was his in a 2021 CBS interview, and he responded that he did not know.
