Hunter Biden has won a bid to drop his laptop hacking lawsuit because of money problems, but he can’t bring the case again in the future, a judge has ruled.
California federal Judge Hernán Vera Thursday partially granted the request by Biden, 55, to dismiss his case against former White House aide Garrett Ziegler after Biden claimed he can’t get out of debt because no one is buying his memoir and art and because he and his family were forced to relocate from their posh Malibu rental home after the wildfires.
The Post exclusively revealed photos last week showing Hunter’s home appearing unscathed while all the surrounding houses appeared destroyed by the Pacific Palisade fires that raged in January.
It was unclear whether there was unseen damage inside the house.
Ziegler – an aide to trade adviser Peter Navarro during the first Trump administration – tried to fight the case against him getting dropped so he could go after the Biden scion for legal fees.
While Vera agreed to close the case, the judge denied Hunter’s effort to keep things open-ended, denying him the potential to file the case again one day.
Hunter had been scheduled to be deposed on March 10 by Ziegler – whom he claimed illegally hacked his infamous laptop and shared its embarrassing contents on his conservative non-profit site Marco Polo.
Lawyers for Hunter and Ziegler didn’t immediately return requests for comment Friday morning.
