Hunter Biden laptop letter

On October 14, 2020, the Hunter Biden laptop controversy began when the New York Post published a story about a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden that had been abandoned at a Delaware computer shop in 2019. Five days later, a group of 51 former senior intelligence officials who had served in four different administrations, including the Trump administration, issued the Hunter Biden laptop letter, an open letter stating that the laptop "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation".

By May 2023, no evidence had publicly surfaced to support suspicions that the laptop was part of a Russian disinformation scheme. FBI investigators handling Hunter Biden's laptop quickly concluded in 2019 "that the laptop was genuinely his and did not seem to have been tampered with or manipulated". PolitiFact wrote in June 2021 that the laptop did belong to Hunter Biden, but did not demonstrate wrongdoing by Joe Biden.
