FBI Knew Hunter Biden Laptop Was Authentic from Day One, Internal Documents Reveal
Washington, D.C. – Newly released internal FBI communications confirm that the bureau knew Hunter Biden’s laptop was authentic as early as October 2020, despite widespread claims of it being Russian disinformation at the time. The revelation has reignited debates over the FBI’s handling of politically sensitive investigations and its potential influence on the 2020 presidential election.
FBI Officials Acknowledged Authenticity in Private
According to a report by Public, an FBI official admitted the laptop was real during an October 14, 2020, conference call with Twitter executives—the same day The New York Post broke the story. Internal FBI messages show agents referring to the laptop’s legitimacy while simultaneously imposing a “gag order” on discussing it publicly.
“Yes, the laptop is real,” one FBI official stated on the call, according to the report. However, in subsequent communications, agents were instructed to maintain a stance of “no comment” regarding the matter.
FBI’s Silence and Political Fallout
The FBI’s reluctance to confirm the laptop’s authenticity had major implications. In the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, intelligence officials, Democratic leaders, and mainstream media outlets dismissed the laptop as potential Russian interference. Twitter and Facebook actively suppressed the New York Post story, citing concerns about misinformation—decisions influenced, in part, by FBI warnings about potential foreign election interference.
Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators have criticized the FBI’s approach, arguing that withholding the truth may have altered public perception of Joe Biden and his campaign.
“The American people were misled. The FBI knew the laptop was real, yet they allowed Big Tech and the media to dismiss it as Russian propaganda,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
Questions Surround the Investigation
Internal FBI messages also suggest agents were aware of possible criminal activity linked to the laptop’s contents. One message reportedly included an agent asking:
“Actually, what kind of case is the laptop thing? Corruption? Campaign financing?”
The response, marked “CLOSE HOLD”, was redacted in the released documents. This has fueled speculation that federal officials deliberately avoided public discussion of potential wrongdoing.
Renewed Calls for Accountability
With the 2024 election cycle underway, Republican leaders are pushing for further investigations into the FBI’s conduct. House Republicans are expected to subpoena additional documents and testimony from FBI and Department of Justice officials to determine whether there was a coordinated effort to suppress information that could have influenced the election.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) called the latest revelations “proof of a cover-up” and demanded accountability from FBI leadership. “This wasn’t about national security—it was about protecting Joe Biden,” Johnson said.
What Happens Next?
As more details emerge, the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s laptop continues to shape the political landscape. Whether the FBI’s handling of the case will lead to policy changes or disciplinary action remains uncertain, but the revelations have added fuel to ongoing concerns over political bias within federal agencies.
