Hunter Biden sues former Trump White House aide over release of private material
CBSN
Hunter Biden's legal team filed a lawsuit Wednesday against former Trump White House aide, Garrett Ziegler, over the publication of private photos, emails and other materials that came from a hard drive allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden.
The lawsuit is the latest in a strategy Biden's lawyers telegraphed earlier this year, which involved an aggressive push to pursue court action against those they viewed as instigating unwarranted and invasive attacks on Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.
Ziegler has been a particularly notable figure in the effort to bring attention to Hunter Biden's past — largely mined from the now-infamous laptop. Ziegler, a former aide to Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, has operated a website dedicated in part to exposing elements of Hunter Biden's past. The website includes links to a range of photos, text messages, emails and other documents purported to be from the president's son.
