Hunter Biden Says He ‘100 Percent’ Did Not Think Laptop Was His When Story Broke

Former first son Hunter Biden said categorically that he genuinely did not think the laptop that became a nucleus of controversy was his when that story broke — and still doesn’t remember dropping it off to a repair shop.

Hunter Biden sat down for a rare three-hour-plus interview on Substack this week on a wide variety of topics that included the laptop story that he addressed at length in his last interview, with Channel 5’s Andrew Callaghan.

But in this new interview, Biden added that he genuinely did not believe the laptop materials were his, and though he concedes the “vast majority” was real, he still heavily doubts the provenance of the information:

TOMMY CHRISTOPHER: This colleague wanted to know, when the laptop thing first broke, did you really not think it was yours, is what this person asked me to ask you. And I don’t know, there’s probably a Cliff’s Notes version of this, but like — go ahead.

HUNTER BIDEN: No, 100 percent! I had no — look, number one, when it broke, it was very, very, very jumbled of what the, you know, what the thing was.

There was this laptop repair shop owner, but he was, you know, he was legally blind, and it said that I was in the shop, but there was no — I mean, he has video cameras, but there’s no video cameras of me, and there’s this, that, and the other thing.

And all I know is this, is that even that person, publicly says that the information that was disseminated through Rudy Giuliani, through his lawyer, through the Garrett Zieglers of the world and Steve Bannons and Gao, whatever his name is, is an amalgamation — did not come from the source that he says that it came from.

So number one, there’s really never a laptop. 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.

And what I always say about this story is the one thing that everybody misses is this, is that, for instance, Lev Parnas flat out says that Rudy was going to get a laptop from Dmitry Furtash in Austria, who is a Russian oligarch or Ukrainian-Russian oligarch that is indicted and being sought for extradition in the United States.

And he went to sit down with him to get the hard drive, before the Delaware repair shop owner was the twinkle in Rudy Giuliani’s eye.

So, it doesn’t matter. It truly doesn’t matter, and at the end of the day, the thing that matters is this. Bannon thought that what he was going to do with the information that was on a hard drive before that story ever existed as it related to a laptop was that he was willing to expose the fact that I was a drug addict. And that they had nude pictures of me in hotel rooms with women smoking crack and you know, and blah, blah, and all of the things, okay?

That’s what he was going to do. He even called Adam Entous right after Adam Entous did that story in the New Yorker. It said, you scoop me, mother effer.

And that was way before a laptop ever existed in the world.

So this information had been like, you know was being pulled in from different sources all the time. And so, when the New York Post said that they had a, you know, a quote-unquote laptop, completely clueless as to the legitimacy of whatever story was out there.

TOMMY CHRISTOPHER: And you still to this day don’t remember dropping that laptop off?

HUNTER BIDEN: No.

Biden had a lot more to say about the laptop — which you can see via the Tommy Christopher Substack interview series, or on Mediaite later this week.
