Rudy Giuliani said on Tuesday that he shared alleged sexually explicit materials involving underage girls from Hunter Biden with police in Delaware.
The text messages and photos discussed by Giuliani, a personal lawyer to President Trump and former New York City mayor, appear to have been found in a laptop hard drive that purportedly belonged to the 50-year-old son of former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now the Democratic presidential nominee. Those computer materials are already in the possession of the FBI, the Washington Examiner has confirmed.
“There’s a text message to [Hunter’s] father in which he says the following, and he’s discussing his sister-in-law, who, for quite some time, was his lover,” Giuliani told Newsmax, setting up the background of the exchange. “He says, ‘She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate.’ This would be with an unnamed, 14-year-old girl.”
The text messages, shown on the screen with some parts blacked out as Giuliani continued to read from them, said Hunter Biden’s sister-in-law went on to say that he was being “sexually inappropriate with [redacted] when she says that I face time [sic] naked with her and the reason I can’t have her out to see me is because I’ll walk around naked smoking crack talijing [sic] [redacted] girls on face time [sic]. When she was pressed she said that [redacted] never said anything like that but the bottom line is that I create and caused [a] very unsafe environment for the kids … If it stopped there I would let it go … But then [redacted] friend [redacted] sober coach.”
The “sister-in-law” to which Giuliani referred appears to be Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter’s brother Beau, with whom Hunter Biden had a romantic relationship for a time until reportedly the spring of last year.
Giuliani said the texts he read were “supported by numerous pictures of underage girls” but did not get into what they showed. The former mayor also didn’t provide an exact date for when the messages were sent, but at one point suggested it was around three years ago.

The materials, said to be obtained by Giuliani earlier this month from a computer shop in Delaware, were first reported by the New York Post last week.
Neither the Biden campaign nor Hunter Biden has denied any other element of the emails story, which, up until now, had only shed light on the younger Biden’s foreign business ventures and struggle with drugs, though the former vice president has called it part of a “smear campaign.”
In the interview with Newsmax, Giuliani also said there is a memo from Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop describing how “three Chinese communists” were sending money to “the big guy,” which Giuliani says was in reference to Joe Biden.
The Washington Examiner reached out to the Biden campaign and Hunter Biden’s lawyer for comment on Giuliani’s latest claims but did not immediately receive a response.
Reached by phone on Tuesday evening, a representative with the Delaware State Police, to whom Giuliani told Newsmax he and former New York Police Department commissioner Bernard Kerik delivered the materials, was unable to confirm or deny whether Giuliani had handed over the materials on Monday as he had claimed.
However, it appears Giuliani actually delivered text messages and photos to the New Castle County Police Department.
“They’ve got a hard drive, or a laptop, or something to that effect. They try to turn it over to New Castle County PD. New Castle County PD calls us,” said Mat Marshall, a spokesman for Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings, according to a News Journal report late Tuesday. Marshall added that Jennings’s office handed over the device to the FBI because he had seen multiple reports about the bureau looking into whether the claims were credible. “In light of their investigation, we’re referring it over to them now,” he added.
The Washington Examiner also reached out to the state Department of Justice for comment.
Asked last week about the Hunter Biden matter, an FBI spokesperson told the Washington Examiner that the bureau declines to comment “keeping with our standard practice of not confirming or denying the existence of an investigation.”
Giuliani told Just the News he was worried about children endangerment and sexual exploitation.
“I told them other details about what appears to be an inappropriate sexual relationship,” he said about his conversation with police. “They told me it would be investigated.”
A Business Insider report described faint handwriting on a subpoena served last year to a Delaware business that was given a water-damaged MacBook Pro to repair, but was never retrieved, and a hard drive with its contents. The hardware purportedly contained data about foreign business dealings and other matters related to Hunter Biden.
The subpoena appeared to show the FBI agent who served it was someone named “Joshua Wilson.” There was a Joshua Wilson, according to a Star-Ledger report published last year, who was an FBI agent based in New Jersey who spent nearly five years investigating child pornography, but it remains unclear if this is the same Wilson and what exactly the bureau was investigating.
John Paul Mac Isaac, the computer store owner in Delaware who claims he copied the hard drive of the laptop that he later gave to Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello, told reporters last week he “did not see” child pornography on the hardware.
Republicans, including Trump, have repeatedly raised the younger Biden’s foreign business ventures as being ripe for corruption that could stem all the way to his father.
Many Democrats and former intelligence officials have speculated that the contents of the hard drive cannot be trusted because they are tied to a Russian disinformation campaign. However, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said on Monday that he didn’t believe the news related to the laptop and emails are connected to the Kremlin. The Washington Examiner reported on Tuesday that the Justice Department and FBI also don’t believe that the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop are tied to a Russian disinformation effort.
Breitbart News has also reported that it obtained 26,000 emails related to Hunter Biden from a former business partner that are completely separate from the laptop and hard drive.
Election Day is less than two weeks away.
