Hunter Biden agreed to drop his civil lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani, the former New York Mayor’s attorney and others over the release Biden’s digital data. This was revealed in a court filing on Thursday.

The big picture: According to the lawsuit, Giuliani broke federal law when he accessed and distributed Hunter Biden’s data on a laptop that belonged him. The embarrassing revelations in the data dump fuelled a wave Republican attacks, and also played a part in the legal problems of the president’s child.

In Biden’s recent federal criminal trial, the laptop and information on it was used as evidence. The jury found him guilty on three counts of felony gun offenses. The date of sentencing has yet to be set.

These data could also be used in Biden’s upcoming California trial for federal tax charges.
