Former first son Hunter Biden emphatically insisted he didn’t believe his abandoned “laptop from hell” was really his when damning materials tied to the computer’s hard drive were exclusively reported by The Post weeks before the 2020 presidential election.
Former President Joe Biden’s 55-year-old son also reiterated his claim that he doesn’t remember dropping the device off at a Delaware computer store during an hours-long interview with journalist Tommy Christopher.
“No, 100%,” the younger Biden said when asked if he thought the computer really belonged to him, according to Mediaite, which first reported on the interview.
“I had no — look, number one, when it broke, it was very, very, very jumbled of what that, you know, the thing was.”
The Post’s report revealed an alleged shady business deal between the president and members of his family, but at the time, the Democratic leader and his allies claimed it was disinformation from Russia.
The laptop’s contents also chronicled Hunter Biden’s drug problem and his trysts with prostitutes in an embarrassing series of images.
They were used by federal prosecutors later on to convict Biden on federal gun charges — before his father pardoned him in his final days in the White House.
When asked by Christopher if he even recalls dropping the laptop off, Biden repeatedly said no.
He only conceded in his talk with the journalist that the “vast majority” of the computer’s contents were legitimate.
“So number one, there’s really never a laptop,” he said.
“But there was a hard drive, and that hard drive became just a dumping ground for things that were hacked, stolen, fabricated, manipulated, real. Lot of — vast majority of things that are real.”
Biden left the infamous laptop behind at a Delaware computer repair shop in 2019. The store owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, later alerted the FBI to some of the computer’s alarming information.
He also provided a copy of the hard drive to an associate of Rudy Giuliani, which the former New York City mayor later gave to The Post, which led to a series of bombshell stories on the Bidens family’s entangled business dealings abroad.
