Current White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed during the presidential campaign last year that a NY Post story regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation,” despite the fact that it had been corroborated at the time and has since been vindicated in multiple reports. And on Monday, she refused to back down from that claim.
The NY Post story revealed that emails on a laptop left by Hunter Biden in a shop showed that he introduced a Ukrainian colleague to then-Vice President Joe Biden, despite the elder Biden claiming that he had no knowledge of his son’s business dealings.
Other emails revealed that Hunter arranged a joint Chinese venture in which Joe was to have a 10% stake.
Democrats, the media, and just about everyone else rooting for Biden’s victory in the presidential election did all they could to suppress the story, with Twitter even blocking the story on its platform.
At the time, Psaki tweeted a Politico article pushing back against the story, with the headline stating, “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.”
A NY Post reporter on Monday asked Psaki whether she would now admit that the laptop “is indeed authentic, and not Russian disinformation as you seemed to suggest on Twitter last year.”
Psaki would not give a straight answer, instead saying, “The president’s son is not an employee of the federal government, so I’d point you to his representatives.”
Imagine if it were Donald Trump’s son laptop.

Her job is to make the administration look good, no matter how big a lie that takes. It’s that simple.
In theory, that would be the same in any administration. The major difference here, though, is that the media is generally absurdly friendly to this administration, whereas they were outright hostile to President Trump. So the lies here can be much bolder because they won’t call her out on any of it.
One becomes Bar Mitzva to become responsible for themselves, so president Biden is not responsible for his son.
We don’t have to imagine.
Trump’s daughter and son-in-law were doing business and making millions while they were working for the US Government and the Republicans never said a word.
Yes, so much for her promise of being transparent. What an illiterate bumbling arrogant condescending piece of garbage. The corrupt Merrick Garland is a personal servant of the Biden crime family so his only job is to go after white middle class males who disagree with their school boards perverted agenda. White domestic terrorist supremacists.

What do you mean “working for”? They received no compensation, so what they were doing was volunteering – free of charge. And somehow I find it very strange that shutting down their business (like when Trump’s daughter had to shut down her fashion line) is somehow described by you as “making millions” (presumably you mean millions of dollars).

As president, President Biden is sworn to hold EVERY CRIMINAL to account. The first problem here is that President Biden is neglecting his sworn and violating his oath of office by letting his son (and other members of his family) go unhindered. The second problem is that he himself seems to be benefitting financially from his son’s criminality.
