- The Washington Post finally admitted Hunter Biden’s laptop is real, nine months after first receiving a copy of the hard drive
- The newspaper made a u-turn in an piece published Wednesday, after months of publishing articles suggesting the laptop could be Russian disinformation
- The Post said it had cyber forensics experts validate its material, using similar methods experts hired by DailyMail.com used back in March 2021
- Hunter’s Macbook Pro was recovered in October 2020 after he left it at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware in April 2019 and never returned for it
- Earlier this month, DailyMail.com revealed that the Post was given a copy of the laptop by political activist Jack Maxey last June but blew it off
- ‘They haven’t done anything. They’re not just late to the party, they didn’t even show up,’ said Maxey, who gave DailyMail.com the laptop last spring
- The Post’s admission also follows the New York Times, which quietly noted 1,200 words into a long story this month that it had also validated the device’s material
