Hunter Biden is scheduled to testify on Thursday in a civil case brought against him by John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of a computer repair shop in Delaware. The shop owner had come into possession of Biden's controversial laptop back in 2019.
Biden, the son of the U.S President, will appear in a Delaware court on Thursday morning to produce his complete, unredacted bank records dating from April 2019, as per a plaintiff notice acquired by The Post.
Last year, Mac Isaac initiated a defamation lawsuit against Biden. He claimed that Biden wrongfully denied ownership of the laptop and made false accusations that it was either stolen or that his information had been compromised, leaving the repair shop owner in a precarious position.
Despite Mac Isaac's attempts to contact him, Biden did not recover his laptop from the store in April 2019, and Mac Isaac subsequently became the legal owner of the computer.
While servicing the laptop, Mac Isaac discovered compromising emails and videos on the hard drive, allegedly revealing evidence of Joe Biden's influence-peddling when he was Vice President, and explicit content involving his son. Following these findings, Mac Isaac reported his discoveries to the FBI.
Before federal agents seized the laptop in December 2019, Mac Isaac copied the hard drive and passed it on to Robert Costello, the personal lawyer for Rudy Giuliani, in 2020. Giuliani then supplied The Post with a copy of the hard drive in October 2020.
In response, Biden accused Mac Isaac of distributing his personal data without consent in a counterclaim filed in March, alleging six counts of privacy invasion.
This upcoming deposition follows closely on the heels of the Justice Department's announcement of a plea agreement in connection to the longstanding tax investigation led by David Weiss, the US attorney for Delaware.
Biden has agreed to plead guilty to federal tax and firearm charges under the plea agreement, which is not anticipated to include jail time or result in felony convictions on his record.
This announcement comes after the IRS had disbanded a 13-person investigative team working on the case, an action reportedly taken in response to allegations by supervisory agent Gary Shapley of a coverup, "preferential treatment", and false testimony by Attorney General Merrick Garland concerning Weiss' ability to make independent charging decisions.
Shapley and another IRS whistleblower testified to the House Ways and Means Committee regarding the alleged irregularities in the case against Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden is set to make his initial court appearance on July 26.
