WASHINGTON (AP) ? Hunter Biden sued Rudy Giuliani and another attorney Tuesday, saying the two wrongly accessed and shared his personal data after obtaining it from the owner of a Delaware computer repair shop. The lawsuit was the latest in a new strategy by Hunter Biden to strike back against Republican allies of Donald Trump, who have traded and passed around his private data including purported emails and embarrassing images in their effort to discredit his father, President Joe Biden. The suit accuses Giuliani and attorney Robert Costello of spending years ?hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over? the data that was ?taken or stolen? from Biden?s devices or storage, leading to the ?total annihilation? of Biden?s digital privacy. The suit also claims Biden?s data was ?manipulated, altered and damaged? before it was sent to Giuliani and Costello, and has been further altered since then.
