A recent ruling in Delaware has brought an end to a defamation case involving a computer repairman at the center of the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop. The judge dismissed the case against news outlets, Hunter Biden, and Joe Biden's presidential campaign.

The computer repairman, John Paul Mac Isaac, had alleged defamation based on media reports and statements implying that the laptop left at his shop in 2019 was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. However, the judge ruled in favor of the defendants, stating that the comments made by Hunter Biden were considered opinion and did not specifically name Mac Isaac.
