Since then, John Paul Mac Isaac has closed his computer repair business by leaving a closed sign in the store window, according to a USA Today report.
Mac Isaac's Annapolis attorney, Brian Della Rocca, told the outlet that Mac Isaac closed the store after receiving death threats. He refused to reveal where his client might have gone, or even if he had left town.
Giuliani allegedly received the hard drive from the Delaware store owner, who claimed that Biden left the computer at this store for repairs in April 2019 and never returned to pick it up. The owner was unable to definitively identify the customer who dropped off the laptop as Hunter Biden, according to reports.
The Post story sparked a lot of controversy upon publication, as other outlets were unable to independently verify or authenticate the emails.
The former mayor used the alleged data to make a series of damning accusations against the 50-year-old while simultaneously launching a campaign against Joe Biden in the final days of the 2020 election run-up.
Joe Biden said the reports coming from the alleged laptop were a "desperate campaign to smear me and my family."
Mac Isaac's attorney told USA Today that he did not expect his client to become entangled in a potential lawsuit or criminal investigation following the laptop-related allegations, but reportedly said his office had recently spoken with FBI agents about Wilmington and Delaware Assistant United States Attorney Leslie. Wolf.
"I have been in contact with the federal police, yes," Della Rocca said, but declined to discuss the nature of the conversations.
In media interviews, the owner previously said that he had contacted the FBI through an intermediary and provided agents with a copy of the contents of the hard drive.
Neither the FBI nor the US Attorney's Office in Delaware had comment when contacted by USA Today.
