"Hunter Biden" is not one monolithic story. IIRC, Giuliani's story was all about that laptop (and trying to make it look like Joe Biden was involved), but that laptop may in fact have nothing to do with this tax probe. The existence of the latter doesn't necessarily validate the former.
According to the story you posted:
> Hints of the investigation emerged after President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, helped orchestrate news stories centered on a laptop purported to belong to Hunter Biden and said to include his business documents and other personal material.
> The FBI took possession of the laptop in late 2019, according to a computer repairman in Delaware who showed reporters a copy of a subpoena. The subpoena is real, according to people briefed on the matter, but the FBI and prosecutors in Delaware have refused to confirm the existence of the investigation.
> It's unclear whether the laptop's contents are relevant to the ongoing federal probe and whether investigators can even use them, given potential chain of custody requirements for evidence.
Pay attention to that last paragraph.
- DevKoala 6y agoIt was actually Hunter’s business partner Bobulinsky that went on Fox News to claim that he was working for Biden, and first met him during a scheduled time that has been redacted from Biden’s public calendar. No mainstream press with access to Joe Biden ever dared to ask Joe a question so that he could at least defend himself from the allegations.
