The computer repairman with Hunter Biden's laptop lost his lawsuit against Twitter and has to pay the company's legal fees

The computer repairman famous for fixing Hunter Biden's laptop lost his lawsuit against Twitter on Monday.
District Judge Beth Bloom dismissed the case against the social media company with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be brought to court again. Bloom also ordered the plaintiff, John Paul Mac Isaac, to pay Twitter's attorney fees via Florida's anti-SLAPP statute.
Mac Isaac owned The Mac Shop in Delaware. Biden traveled to the store in 2019 and asked him to recover data from his damaged computers, but never returned to collect the information or pay his invoice.
Mac Isaac ultimately turned over the data to the FBI and then-President Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, after Biden didn't pick up the hard drive of recovered information. Giuliani sent the information to the New York Post, which ran a story using the data while inadvertently including the name of Mac Isaac's business in a photo.
Twitter ultimately locked the company's account for sharing the article, noting that the NY Post distributed "content obtained through hacking that contains private information."
