Mac Isaac is now suing House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff, CNN, Politico and The Daily Beast for spreading the allegations - and is seeking damages of 'at least $1 million. In the lawsuit - which was filed in Montgomery County, Maryland on Tuesday and has been obtained by, Mac Isaac claims that Rep. Adam Schiff defamed him in an interview two days after the New York Post - and later - began publishing revelations from the laptop. In an interview with Wolf Blitzer at the time, Schiff said - without providing any evidence - that he believed 'the Kremlin' was behind 'a smear campaign' of both then-presidential candidate Joe Biden, and his son Hunter.
'That's been clear for well over a year now that they've been pushing this false narrative about the Vice President and his son.' 'Well we know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin,' he said. Mac Isaac now claims in his lawsuit that CNN knowingly broadcast the 'false and defamatory story,' which caused him significant damage including the closing of his laptop repair store.
