Now that Joe Biden is president, the media are willing to admit what everyone knew to be true back in 2020: that his son, Hunter Biden, was (and may continue to be) engaged in shady foreign business dealings, many of which were documented on a laptop he abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop in 2019.

In an extensive report this week about the federal government’s investigation into the younger Biden’s tax filings, the New York Times admitted that this abandoned laptop, the existence of which was reported by the New York Post back in October 2020, is, in fact, legitimate. The publication revealed the FBI seized the laptop and its hard drive from the Delaware repair shop owner and handed it over to federal prosecutors, who have been looking into the laptop’s emailed correspondence between Biden and his former business associates.
