'Hacked'? That's the first problem with this claim. Those images weren't hacked -- they were left on a device that Biden abandoned, becoming the property of the repair shop as a result. That's why you don't abandon such devices, especially with that kind of content. 

Furthermore, Hunter Biden is a public figure, and the records of his business dealings with foreign entities are a legitimate public-interest issue. At the very least, "defamation" has to establish knowingly false reporting as a bare minimum (plus overcoming the Sullivan threshold in Hunter's case); does Hunter really want to litigate that in court?
