Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has sued former Trump aide Garrett Ziegler for hacking and fraud over the infamous laptop that was at the heart of controversy after big tech platforms censored media coverage of the device’s explosive contents in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.
The federal lawsuit (pdf), which was filed at the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, accuses Mr. Ziegler, a former aide in the Trump White House, of improperly “accessing, tampering with, manipulating, altering, copying and damaging computer data” that he did not own, in violation of California laws against computer fraud.
