Hunter Biden to drop lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani and Robert Costello
Hunter Biden is agreeing to drop a civil lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani and Giuliani's former lawyer Robert Costello, according to a court filing Thursday.
Hunter Biden is agreeing to drop a civil lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani and Giuliani's former lawyer Robert Costello, according to a court filing Thursday.
The president's son last year formally accused Giuliani and Costello of violating computer fraud and data access laws, alleging they manipulated data from his "devices or storage platforms."
Attorneys for all three parties filed the agreement, which stipulates that Biden agrees to drop the lawsuit and that each man will pay his own legal fees.
The lawsuit initially sought more than $75,000 in damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and other penalties.
“As Giuliani is in bankruptcy and agreed to have the case waiting for when he is done, it made no sense to continue it in a non-bankruptcy court until that happens," a person familiar with the filing told NBC News on Thursday.
