Computer repairman John Paul Mac Isaac, who acquired Hunter Biden’s laptop after the president’s son abandoned it at his shop in 2019, is being mocked online after saying on Monday that he would agree to testify before the GOP-led House but only if he is “allowed to wear a kilt.”
Isaac’s demand came amid Republicans promising a series of congressional hearings into President Biden and his son’s business dealings.
Isaac, 45, came to legally own the infamous laptop after the president’s son neglected to ever pick it up. In October 2020, it was revealed that the device contained a trove full of emails that detailed how Hunter Biden used his political connections as leverage in overseas business dealings.
Now, Isaac says he’s willing to tell his side of the story.

“There would be subpoenas; there would be an inquiry,” Newsmax host Shaun Kraisman told Isaac. “If you were subpoenaed or asked to participate in an inquiry to say hey, John Paul Mac Issac, what do you know; what can you tell us about you found on this laptop?”
“Would you respond? Would you be willing to go along with this committee under oath and answer questions from that committee?” he asked.
Isaac said he will be willing to testify with one condition.
“I have been working with members of Congress over the past five, six months to make sure that that they have the resources, that they have my side of the story,” he continued. “And I’ve also offered to continue that level of support if they want me to come in and testify, I only have one condition and that is I get to wear my kilt.”
Naturally, Twitter users had to respond. Watch the video and some of the reactions below.

That should make this circus more credible.

A kilt certainly adds to the gravitas of the occasion…

He's preparing for a flash. Make sure he promises to wear underwear!

Rather than going halfway, he should wear Braveheart face paint, too. FREEDOM!

Blind repair guy who clearly took a stolen laptop & wants us to believe his story that he couldn't really see who dropped it off (because he's blind) but then performed an intricate forensic analysis of it? Want to bet when he comes to testify he'll demand it not be under oath?

Maybe Republicans want his laptop hoping it has an Infrastructure Bill on it they can copy.

No fan of Hunter Biden, but this business with the laptop is baloney. Legally there is no chain of custody. Rudi never treated it as evidence but rather as a political leverage smear job that provides a distraction from what maga is really up to.

And you can't ask me which is the correct eye to look at when you talk to me. Do that, and I walk. Don't test me, boyo!

I guess he wants to feel “free” when testifying.
