Repairman who gave Rudy Giuliani copy of Hunter Biden’s computer says he’s ‘not a Russian or a hacker’ amid accusations
THE repairman who gave Rudy Giuliani a copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop says he’s “not a Russian agent or a hacker” amid accusations.
John Paul Mac Issac, the man who gave Giuliani a copy of Hunter‘s laptop hard drive, posted a bizarre video on YouTube titled The Truth, clearing the air that he is not a Russian agent or a hacker.
The video starts with Mac Issac, 44, explaining a bit about his family history, and continues to call the accusations “absurd,” calling himself a “proud” American.
“For two generations the Mac Issac family has fought during the entirely of the Cold War against Communism and the Soviet Union.
“That’s why it’s completely absurd that anyone would consider me to be a Russian agent or influenced by Russians. I am proud of my family, I’m proud of my country and I’m proud to be an America,” Mac Issac says.
He added that the saga has had “an irreversible impact on my business and my character.”
The 44-year-old technician handed over Hunter’s laptop containing his alleged Ukraine emails to both Giuliani and the FBI in the fall.
The laptop and emails in question were first obtained by the New York Post in October.
The Post revealed that Donald Trump‘s personal attorney Giuliani provided them with emails allegedly belonging to Hunter.
The emails, which were retrieved from a laptop hard drive, related to Hunter’s work with Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, as well as his work with a Chinese energy firm.
The Post published a “smoking-gun” email that alleged revealed how Hunter introduced his father to a Ukrainian businessman, Vadym Pozharskyi, when Joe Biden was vice president under Barack Obama.
The laptop was allegedly abandoned at Mac Issac’s Delaware computer shop in April 2019, and later ended up in the hands of Guiliani.
The Sun cannot independently confirm the authenticity of these documents.
Hunter’s signature allegedly appears on the receipt from the laptop repair shop.
Documents show a signature of which appears to read “RHB” – Robert Hunter Biden – which shares some similarities to other publicly available versions of his scrawl.
While on his campaign trail, President-elect Biden repeatedly denied any involvement of his son’s foreign business dealings.
Earlier this week, Hunter announced that he is being probed by the FBI over alleged money laundering and his ties to China after the Feds seized his laptop, reports said.
In his statement, Hunter said the US Attorney’s office in Delaware told his lawyers that his “tax affairs” would be subject to a probe.
He said: “I take this matter very seriously.
“I am also confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”
The investigation is reportedly part of a Grand Jury probe that names him as a “subject/target” – with “target” usually being used when there is a “high probability that person committed a crime”, a source told Fox News.
‘Suspicious Activity Reports’ were allegedly filed against Hunter regarding foreign transactions “from China and other foreign nations”, the source added.
Hunter’s statement also included a response by his father Joe’s transition team.
It read: “President-elect Biden is deeply proud of his son, who has fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger.”
On Thursday, Biden’s brother, James Biden, was reportedly caught up in an FBI hospital business probe, the day after Hunter revealed his taxes were being investigated.
Federal officials mentioned James, one of Biden’s two younger brothers, during an investigation into a Pennsylvania hospital business he was involved in, it was reported on Thursday.
