Hunter Biden tells laptop lies in fib-filled Tucker Carlson interview

WASHINGTON — Hunter Biden claimed Monday that he didn’t abandon his infamous laptop packed with incriminating documents at a Delaware computer shop in 2019, but that the files were actually stolen from his online cloud storage — despite the FBI presenting the MacBook Pro as evidence in court. Hunter, 56, claimed an unknown person or entity broke into his accounts to steal the trove that showed how he involved his then-vice-president dad in lucrative international consulting relationships.

“They hacked my cloud,” the former first son told former a host at one outlet in a two-hour interview — suggesting that Russian or Israeli intelligence agencies or “some kid in his basement” had cobbled together stolen digital assets and claimed they were a laptop. “There’s no possible way all of the information that was eventually labeled as my laptop came from one laptop. It’s way too large,” he told Carlson.

Why it matters

Biden's new claim reshapes the narrative around a high-profile political controversy and may influence public perception of past investigations.
