FBI knew in December


Isaac said the intermediary is an American citizen who he has known for decades, but declined to provide further details about their identity.

In September, he contacted an intermediary about the emails.

The intermediary then contacted the FBI.


According to Isaac’s account, the FBI first made a forensic copy of the laptop, then returned weeks later with a subpoena and confiscated it. When he stopped hearing from the FBI, Isaac said he contacted several members of Congress, who did not respond.

At that point, his intermediary reached out to Rudy Giuliani’s attorney, Robert Costello.

MacIsaac told CBS News he first turned over the hard drive to the FBI last December during the president's impeachment, and provided a copy of its contents to Costello after becoming frustrated by the Senate trial in January.
