Though tabloids and right-wing operatives claimed the laptop was full of evidence of the Biden family’s corrupt dealings, the device was mostly a trove of salacious and embarrassing personal material from when Hunter Biden was in the depths of drug addiction.

Hunter Biden pushed a false conspiracy theory that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein introduced first lady Melania Trump to her future husband, citing a false claim shared by The Daily Beast last month.

During the Channel 5 interview, Hunter made multiple claims about Epstein, including saying that the New York financier was “murdered”. He was murdered right before it was all about to blow up, and so now there are supposedly no files that the American people can see to explain all that,” Biden said.

The 55-year-old son of former President Joe Biden gave an interview where he discussed the slew of controversies and scandals he has faced in the public eye.
