National Public Radio’s claim that the Hunter Biden laptop story was “discredited by U.S. Intelligence and news organizations investigations” does not hold up according to the FBI, Justice Dept. and the Director of National Intelligence.
NPR’s inaccurate claim was part of a review of Hunter Biden’s memoir, “Beautiful Things,” in which the president’s son details his sordid past including alcoholism and a crack addiction.
Fox News learned last year the FBI and Justice Department officials concur with an assessment from Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe that the laptop is not part of a Russian disinformation campaign targeting then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
The laptop, first reported by the New York Post, allegedly contains emails revealing details of his foreign business interests, including contacts in Ukraine and China, along with a series of unflattering photos of the president’s son.
