A New York Times report on Wednesday further confirmed the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s "laptop from Hell," despite several Biden administration personnel amplifying claims that the computer was "Russian disinfo" during the weeks leading up to the 2020 election.
Desde la secretaria de prensa del presidente Bidenhasta el propio "grandullón", la administración Biden hizo todo lo posible por desacreditar los informes sobre el portátil del primer hijo.

"Yes, yes, yes," Biden responded to a question about if he believed the laptop was Russian disinformation in a press conference following his electoral win. The president also pledged that his "Justice Department will be totally on its own making judgments about how they should proceed."
"Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say," White House press secretary Jen Psaki wrote in October 2020, which was retweeted by now-Domestic Policy Council director Susan Rice.
Psaki repetiría este argumento en septiembre de 2021 en respuesta a una pregunta de Peter Doocy, Fox News, sobre si la administración Biden seguía manteniendo su afirmación de que el portátil Hunter Biden era "desinformación rusa" después de que un periodista de Politico verificara varios correos electrónicos.
Both White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates and staff secretary Neera Tanden also pushed the claims of Russian disinformation, as well.
Megan Apper, asesora principal del Departamento de Estado y ex directora de investigación de la Casa Blanca, también impulsó el artículo de Politico en 2020, cuando estaba en la campaña Biden . El artículo incluía una lista de varios ex funcionarios de inteligencia estadounidenses que afirmaban que el portátil era falso, entre ellos el ex Director de Inteligencia Nacional Jim Clapper.
Biden’s deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, who now serves as Biden's White House communications director, also pushed the narrative, claiming in 2020 that former President Trump would be "amplifying Russian disinformation" should he bring up the laptop during the presidential debate.
"Si vemos esta noche por parte de Donald Trump estos ataques a la familia del vicepresidente Biden, creo que tenemos que tener muy, muy claro que lo que está haciendo aquí es amplificar la desinformación de Rusia", dijo Bedingfield. dijo a en octubre de 2020.
"We have The Washington Post reporting that Donald Trump himself has been briefed on Rudy Giuliani was a target of Russian intelligence.," Bedingfield continued. "You have Rudy Giuliani himself saying there’s a 50-50 chance he engaged with Russian intelligence on this story."

"You also had 50 nonpartisan intelligence and security officers sign a letter saying this all has a classic hallmark of Russian disinformation," she added. "So I just want to be crystal clear that if we hear that from Donald Trump tonight, that’s what he’ll be doing."
Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks of Indiana blasted the former intelligence officers as having "maliciously lied" to cover for Biden, including Clapper and former CIA director John Brennan.
"James Clapper, John Brennan… Every single one of the ‘intel officials’ that signed this letter either maliciously lied to protect Joe Biden and interfere with our election or are disturbingly incompetent!" Banks wrote on Thursday.
El informe informe se produce en medio de la investigación federal sobre los negocios del más joven de los Biden, y pone en tela de juicio el importante mensaje contra los informes iniciales del portátil durante la campaña del presidente para 2020.
