A former Trump administration policy analyst who admittedly published the “Biden Laptop Report” online in 2022 after receiving a hard drive from Rudy Giuliani has responded to Hunter Biden’s attempt to make him pay close to $18,000 in attorney’s fees as a computer fraud lawsuit moves forward in California federal court.

Attorneys for defendant Garrett Ziegler, who recently launched an appeal of a dismissal denial, said Thursday that Biden’s request for attorney’s fees “should be denied entirely” because the defense motion to dismiss the “hacking” case as a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP suit) under California law was in no way “frivolous,” even if the judge in the case ultimately rejected it.

In July, Biden’s lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Hernan Vera, a 2023 appointee of President Joe Biden who three years earlier donated “at least $1,600” to Biden’s 2020 campaign, to order up the attorney’s fees on the grounds that Ziegler’s team “forc[ed] Plaintiff to waste time and resources addressing anti-SLAPP arguments that were completely baseless.”

Ziegler months earlier sought Vera’s recusal, but another federal judge who handled the recusal motion ruled that the defendant had failed to show that Vera had to step aside, as there was no “evidence of bias stemming from extrajudicial factors.”
