Lawyers representing Hunter Biden are urging federal and state investigations into several allies of former President Donald Trump, including Rudy Giuliani, alleging they unlawfully disseminated personal data used to attack his father, President Joe Biden.
The action by Biden's attorneys, in letters to the Justice Department, the Internal Revenue Service and the Delaware Attorney General's Office, represent an aggressive offensive as House Republicans are poised to launch inquiries into the Biden family.
In a separate letter to Fox News and personality Tucker Carlson, attorney Bryan Sullivan demanded that the network retract reporting from a broadcast last month or face a possible defamation lawsuit.

Sullivan referred to "false and defamatory" statements about Hunter Biden making rent payments to his father "in what Mr. Carlson implied was essentially a money laundering scheme" and separate suggestions that Biden had unauthorized access to classified documents while at the president's residence.
The letter to the Justice Department asserted that a Delaware computer repairman, John Paul Mac Isaac worked with Giuliani and other Trump allies during the 2020 presidential campaign "to weaponize Mr. Biden’s personal computer data against his father."
Mac Isaac had said that Hunter Biden dropped off a laptop for repair at his Wilmington shop in 2019.
