Hunter Biden's Controversial Laptop Confirmed To Be Real; White House Dodged Questions -Report

Hunter Biden's laptop was confirmed to be really existing as revealed by a comprehensive report about the ongoing federal probe into the U.S. president's son.

U.S. President Joe Biden's son's laptop contains a hard drive holding a trove of emails, text messages, photos, and financial documents between Hunter Biden, his family, and business associates, according to a New York Post report.

The contents of Hunter's laptop detailed how he used his political leverage, being the president's son, over his overseas business dealings.

People have criticized correspondence between Hunter and Devon Archer, who was with the first son on the board of Ukraine energy company, Burisma.

Archer was sentenced last month in an unrelated fraud case. He has also "cooperated completely" with the federal probe against Hunter.

People familiar with the emails and investigation confirmed the authenticity of those to The New York Times.

Hunter Biden's Laptop Existence Confirmed

Hunter's failure to pay all his taxes has been the main focus of the ongoing Justice Department probe. The federal grand jury heard testimony from two witnesses, one of whom was a former employee of Hunter.

The investigation eventually developed into possible criminal violations of tax laws. It started as a tax inquiry under former President Barack Obama's administration, according to The New York Times report.

Other possible charges are foreign lobbying and money laundering rules, according to people familiar with the investigation.

One email showed that Hunter outlined his vision for working with Burisma, dated April 2014. He then implied that the upcoming trip to Ukraine by his father, who was a vice president at the time, should be "characterized as part of our advice and thinking."

Hunter then said that what his father will say and do is "out of our hands."

About a week after the email, the senior Biden traveled to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

Hunter and Archer discussed inviting foreign business associates, including a Burisma executive, to a dinner in April 2015 at a Washington restaurant where Joe Biden would stop by.

White House on Hunter Biden's Laptop Issue

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has dodged questions about new developments regarding Hunter's laptop.

She directed the queries to the Justice Department after reports have confirmed the authenticity of emails appearing to be from his computer's hard drive, according to a Daily Mail report. Psaki added that Hunter does not work in the government.

The president's son had slammed reports of the laptop as "a bunch of garbage," saying that there are 50 former national intelligence officials accusing him of being a Russian plant.

Hunter was referencing a letter from 50 top former intelligence officials, saying that the laptop stories had all the "classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Hunter's laptop also revealed that he paid off a tax liability of over $1 million, which was a year after he announced that he was under investigation for defrauding the Internal Revenue Service.
