When Asked About Hunter Biden’s Laptop, Jen Psaki Defers to His ‘Representatives’ Along With the DOJ

It was reported yesterday by the New York Times that Hunter Biden is being investigated for money laundering, tax evasion, and possible FARA violations.

The report also confirmed the existence of the first son’s infamous laptop, which had been initially reported on by the New York Post but labeled Russian disinformation by the left and fact-checkers.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked today about the situation and she dodged the question ultimately.

In a clip shared by Disclose.TV in a tweet, Psaki was asked, “If I may, umm, you were asked about Hunter Biden’s laptop, you also in October 2020 dismissed it as Russian disinformation, do you stand by that assessment?”

Psaki responded by deferring and said, “Again, I pointed to the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden’s representatives. I’m a spokesperson for the United States, he doesn’t work for the United States.”

As Fox News noted, the Times dismissed the Biden laptop story as “Russian disinformation” at the height of the 2020 presidential campaign and claimed in a September 2021 piece that The Post’s reporting on the laptop was “unsubstantiated.”

The Times later scrubbed the word from the article after intense backlash over its inaccurate characterization of The Post’s reporting. 

Joe Biden, along with Psaki, also dismissed the report in 2020 as Biden responded to a question about if he believed the laptop was Russian disinformation in a press conference as the president-elect, “Yes, yes, yes.”
