A judge threw out a defamation lawsuit brought against AdamSchiff by the owner of the computer repair shop where Hunter Biden dropped off his now-infamous laptop hard drive in 2019. The lawsuit was filed against Schiff, Hunter Biden, CNN, and Politico.
Repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac had filed the lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware against Schiff, Hunter Biden, CNN, and Politico in October 2022. Schiff had attempted to dismiss the Hunter Biden laptop stories published by the New York Post in October 2020 as nothing but a “smear” from the “Kremlin.
The Justice Department had intervened in Mac Isaac’s lawsuit earlier in March, seeking to substitute the United States as a defendant in place of Schiff, arguing that federal law required that the U.S. be made the defendant in place of a congressman in the case of lawsuits against “an employee of the government” when the employee is acting “within the scope of their office.”
The judge said Friday that the DOJ had moved to substitute itself for Schiff and had filed a motion to dismiss the case over lack of jurisdiction and that Mac Isaac did not respond in time. Noreika ruled that federal law required the substitution of the U.S. for Schiff and that the case was now being dismissed against the U.S., with the rest of the lawsuit sent back to the Delaware court.
Then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe shot this down on Oct. 19, 2020. “Let me be clear, the intelligence community doesn’t believe that because there is no intelligence that supports that, and we have shared no intelligence with Chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden’s laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” Ratcliffe said. “It’s simply not true.
