IRS whistleblowers revealed the FBI verified the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop by Nov. 2019, nearly a year before social media companies censored stories about it. They also said some laptop contents were withheld during their investigation.

The whistleblower said that “when the FBI took possession of the device in December 2019, they notified the IRS that it likely contained evidence of tax crimes” and that a redacted special agent “drafted an affidavit for a Title 26 search warrant, which a magistrate judge approved that month.” Hunter Biden reached a plea deal on federal charges related to tax crimes and the illegal purchase of a handgun, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s office revealed in a court filing on Tuesday. IRS whistleblower claims detailing the politicization of the Justice Department investigation were made public on Thursday, including allegations that Weiss had sought special counsel status from the DOJ and sought to file charges in California and in the nation’s capital, but was repeatedly denied.
Baker seemed to lean in favor of censoring the laptop stories in October 2020, telling Twitter colleagues that “it's reasonable for us to assume that” the laptop materials “may have been” hacked “and that caution is warranted." More than 50 ex-intelligence officials quickly signed the laptop letter, which contributed to the baseless narrative that the Hunter Biden laptop stories were nothing but a product of Russian disinformation. That narrative was happily spread by some of the laptop letter signers and seized upon by Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign.
“There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plan. They have said that this has all the characteristics — four, five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage,” Joe Biden said. Shapley said that his email led to a “special meeting” three days later “with the prosecution team and the FBI's computer analysis team to discuss Hunter Biden's laptop.” The whistleblower said that “we once again objected that we still had not been given access to the laptop.”
