President Donald Trump and other Republican leaders blasted the New York Times this week after the paper announced that the Hunter Biden emails were “authenticated.”
After the outlet published an article about Hunter Biden on Wednesday, Republicans quickly pointed out their hypocrisy. During the 2020 presidential election, the New York Times and other liberal news sources dismissed the Hunter Biden story based on their fact checks. However, a year and a half later, the outlet finally admitted that Hunter Biden’s emails were real.
In their story, the New York Times wrote:
“Prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.”
Responding to the news, President Trump said, “The New York Times just admitted that it participated to rig the election for Joe Biden.”
