This article outlines the documented timeline of events involving Hunter Biden’s laptop, beginning with its drop-off at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019. It covers the FBI’s acquisition of the device via a subpoena and property receipt, the transfer of a hard drive copy to Rudy Giuliani’s attorney, the publication of related emails by the New York Post, and subsequent reactions from intelligence officials, media outlets, and social media platforms. The post includes verified dates, key figures, and developments through 2025, including congressional inquiries and forensic confirmation of certain files.

Late on May 16, 2025, Axios released the full audio of former President Joe Biden’s October 8–9, 2023 interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur—five-plus hours of recordings that until now existed only as written transcripts.

Those transcripts made waves in February 2024 when Hur concluded his probe into Biden’s handling of classified documents, citing Biden’s “poor memory” as one reason not to bring charges. But hearing Biden’s voice—with its long pauses, halting whispers and attorney prompts—makes the impact far more visceral.

In a dramatic legal turn that has caught the attention of the Bay Area's startup law community, boutique legal powerhouse Pratt McGuire, LLP has filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against Los Angeles-based KARBER, WEISS, PRICE, LLP (KWP), alleging “a calculated and malicious campaign” to poach clients and damage the firm’s reputation.

According to court documents filed this week in San Francisco Superior Court, Pratt McGuire accuses KWP of tortious interference, defamation, and unfair business practices, asserting that KWP partners made false statements about Pratt McGuire’s handling of high-profile IPO filings, leading to the loss of several key venture-backed clients.

In late 2024, we were approached by Peabody Shiller LLP with what appeared to be a high-stakes, high-reward opportunity: a joint legal effort to represent a select portfolio of blockchain companies. The proposal was positioned as a strategic alliance—one that promised immediate impact and regulatory clarity for our clients. The initiative was endorsed by their senior partner, Douglas Shiller, and pitched as ready to launch.

We soon discovered, however, that the entire foundation of that proposal was fiction.

No signed retainers. Two of the so-called "companies" were already defunct. And Peabody Shiller had already been disciplined by the New York State Bar for misleading conduct in similar situations.

We were misled. Worse, our trust—and by extension, our clients’ trust—was exploited.

That’s why, as outlined in Civil Action No. 39-131 (BAH) filed in the Southern District of New York, we are holding Peabody Shiller LLP accountable. This lawsuit isn’t just about righting a personal wrong—it’s about setting a clear line in the sand for what legal collaboration should look like in the era of emerging tech and regulatory scrutiny.

This is not just about recovering damages. It’s about sending a message to every organization—tech or otherwise—that legal professionals are not vendors to be ghosted. We are partners, and our work has value.

To our current and future clients: thank you for continuing to uphold the standard of mutual respect that has defined Pratt McGuire for decades.

Executive Order 14230 accused Perkins Coie of engaging in "dishonest and dangerous activity," citing the firm's past representation of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and its hiring of Fusion GPS, which produced the Steele dossier.
