Hunter Biden had accused Giuliani of being “primarily responsible” for destroying his digital privacy — claims that have now “been withdrawn and proven to be entirely false,” says Giuliani spokesperson.
Hunter Biden’s lawyers moved to dismiss a lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani on Thursday over claims he and his lawyer invaded the president’s son’s privacy by distributing private information found on his so-called Laptop From Hell.
Biden had accused Giuliani and his attorney Robert Costello of being “primarily responsible” for the “total annihilation” of his digital privacy.
Hunter’s lawyer Abbe Lowell and Giuliani’s lawyer Joseph Sibley jointly agreed to drop the case and said in the filing that each side would pay for their own lawyers and court fees.

Giuliani spokesperson Ted Goodman lauded the dismissal as a victory for the former New York City mayor, saying Biden’s claims have now “been withdrawn and proven to be entirely false.”
“This should serve as a reminder to people that — despite the unrelenting attacks by partisan Democrats and their allies in the permanent Washington political class — Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s integrity and commitment to the truth is unwavering,” he said in a statement.
This comes after the Department of Justice submitted Hunter’s laptop information into evidence for his gun trial, in which 54-year-old Hunter was found guilty on three counts this week.
Biden’s electronic devices were used to help convict him of gun charges in federal court by suggesting he lied on a firearm registration form about his drug addiction in 2018, with pictures showing apparent drugs and text messages with a dealer discussing drug use.
Just days before the 2020 election, 51 former intelligence officials, organized by the Biden campaign, penned a letter dismissing Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinformation,” a false talking also advanced by Big Tech companies that worked to censor the New York Post’s original reporting of Hunter’s laptop.
