NPR is under fire for falsely reporting Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop was "discredited by U.S. intelligence and independent investigations by news organizations."
The inaccurate claim was part of a review of Hunter Biden’s memoir, "Beautiful Things," in which the president’s son details his past as an alcoholic and a crack addict. NPR senior editor and correspondent Ron Elving wrote that President Trump and Rudolph Giuliani spent much of the 2020 campaign attempting to tie the Biden family to various scandals and controversies.
The laptop, first reported by the New York Post, allegedly contains emails revealing details of his foreign business interests, including contacts in Ukraine and China, along with a series of unflattering photos of the president’s son.
"The last gasp of Giuliani's campaign against the Bidens featured a laptop supposedly obtained from sources that would document the younger Biden's drug use and other offenses. The laptop story was discredited by U.S. intelligence and independent investigations by news organizations," Elving wrote.
Washington Examiner editor Daniel Chaitin noticed the inaccurate sentence and blasted NPR on Twitter.
"No, the contents of the laptop have not been discredited," Chaitin wrote.

I’m sure NPR is really scared.
NPR? I go back to just WHY we are as taxpayers paying for this biased garbage; it should have been taken off the public payroll decades ago.
***********
Too bad nobody in the GOP ever blasts NPR. Instead they fund this leftist propaganda outlet.
[NPR is under fire for falsely reporting Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop was “discredited by U.S. intelligence and independent investigations by news organizations.”]
Used to work with some guys who listened to NPR every day when they drove it.
I couldn’t understand the attraction of it.
We were working a client in the St. Louis area. Then again, the local “rock” station would play the same Styx songs over and over and over and over.
Hunter, don’t be so humble. You’re also an excellent:
Bagman
Extortionist
Rapist
Pedophile
Thief
Incestuous relative
etc.
NPR is as useful as teats on a boar pig.
The thing that is crazy s that you have two of Hunter’s former business partners who claim the lap top was Hunters and electronic devices mesh with what Hunter had on his. You also have a photo of Hunter and his niece in rather revealing situations. There is way more evidence than just the lap top.
NPR running cover for their crackhead boy hunter
“Ron Elving”
Not sure why I listen to NPR at all, maybe to see what the other side is saying. That said I turn it off when Ron Elving comes on. He is just there to repeat liberal talking points.
We had Republican majority Congresses in the 2000’s and from 2017-2019 which could have privatized NPR, PBS, Amtrak, Rural Electric, and ended unproductive government programs. The Republicans in Congress chose not to address spending, other than perpetuate the fallacy of a baseline spending plan that grows instead of staying flat. During the Bush Administration they were earmark happy. During the Trump administration they couldn’t end Obamacare which almost all of them had promised when campaigning.
How many wasteful programs has the GOP eliminated in the last 50 years?
Isn’t that clown Yamachi Kneepads Alcindor with NPR?
Explains why Burisma thought he would bring value to their board of directors.
Not.
Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ron Johnson, R-Wis, are asking for “all intelligence records” including “all FISA-derived information” related to Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong and Chi Ping (Patrick) Ho.......citing reports that after Ho’s 2017 arrest for “international bribery and money laundering offenses,” shockingly, Ho’s “first call was reportedly to the president’s brother........ James Biden.

CIRCA 2017 Hunter Biden requested keys for his new ‘office mates:’
Joe Biden, Jill Biden, James Biden, and a Chinese Communist money launderer
Joe Biden has repeatedly denied involvement with son’s business dealings
By Brooke Singman, Adam Shaw | Fox News
Hunter Biden requested in 2017 that keys be made for his new “office mates,” listing his father, President-elect Joe Biden, Joe’s wife, Jill Biden and his uncle, Jim Biden, for space he planned to share with an “emissary” for a chairman of a Chinese energy company, according to an email obtained by Fox News.
The Sept. 20, 2017 email, obtained by Fox News, shows Hunter requesting keys for Joe and Jill Biden, along with his uncle, Jim Biden, to the general manager, Cecilia Browning, at the House of Sweden — a building in Washington, D.C., which contains multiple office suites, as well as a number of embassies. “[P]lease have keys made available for new office mates: Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Jim Biden,” said the email, with the subject “507.” The email was first reported on by The Daily Caller. Hunter Biden also requests keys for Gongwen Dong, whom he describes as an “emissary” for Chairman Ye Jianming — the chairman of a Chinese Energy Co. “I would like the office sign to reflect the following,” he continued, requesting “The Biden Foundation” and “Hudson West (CEFC US).” “The lease will remain under my company’s name Rosemont Seneca,” he continued, providing details about Dong and money launderer Ye, whom he referred to as “my partner,” as well as their contact information. Hunter Biden also provides Joe and Jim Biden’s personal cell phone numbers, and urges one of the building staff to “call them at her convenience if she insists.” In another email, obtained by Fox News, the manager responds, saying that “[w]e are very excited and honored to welcome your new colleagues.” The manager then asks to confirm that Hunter Biden wants four more keys and a “[c]hange of names on the doors and in the north entrance.”
House of Sweden confirmed to Fox News that Hunter Biden’s company, Rosemont Seneca, did, in fact, rent office space during that time period. However, they declined to share further information. “House of Sweden is owned and managed by National Property Board Sweden,” general manager Cecilia Browning said in a statement to Fox News. “We have tenants who rent office space, and it is correct that Rosemont Seneca LLC rented an office at House of Sweden between February 2017 – February 2018.” Browning added: “However, please note that we do not share information about current and previous tenants.”
A source familiar with the Biden Foundation told Fox News that they used office space, at the time, in a WeWork space near the White House, and in an office within law firm Perkins Coie, saying there was no relation to the office space at Rosemont Seneca within the House of Sweden.
Joe Biden has repeatedly denied being involved with his son’s business dealings.
Hunter Biden’s business associations with Chairman Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong, and other Chinese nationals, according to the Senate Homeland Security and Finance committees, “resulted in millions of dollars in questionable transactions.”
The committees also found, as part of their investigation into the younger Biden’s foreign business dealings, that he opened a bank account with Dong which financed a $100,000 global spending spree with his uncle, Jim Biden, and Jim Biden’s wife, Sara. The new email comes after Hunter Biden, in a statement this week, revealed that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware is investigating his “tax affairs,” and said that he is taking the matter “very seriously” and is “confident” he handled his affairs “legally and appropriately.”
“I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs,” Hunter Biden said in a statement. “I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”
Meanwhile, the date of the email requesting additional “keys” for his father, who did not hold public office at the time of the request—Sept. 21, 2017—comes just months after a May 2, 2017 meeting about a partnership between the CEFC Chairman Ye and Hunter, Jim Biden and Joe Biden. Fox News first reported the meeting. A well-placed government source told Fox News that Hunter Biden is a subject/target of the grand jury investigation. According to the source, a “target” means that there is a “high probability that person committed a crime,” while a “subject” is someone you “don’t know for sure” has committed a crime.

The source also told Fox News that this investigation was predicated, in part, by Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regarding suspicious foreign transactions. Another source familiar with the investigation told Fox News that the SARs were regarding funds from “China and other foreign nations.”
A Treasury Department official, who did not comment on the investigation, spoke broadly about SARs, telling Fox News that SARs are filed by financial institutions “if there is something out of the ordinary about a particular transaction.” The official told Fox News that the mere filing of a SAR flags that a transaction is “out of the ordinary” for the customer. The official noted, though, that a SAR could be part of a money laundering or tax investigation.The investigation, according to a source familiar with the matter, began in 2018. Two sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News that the investigation includes looking at the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden. In October, Fox News first reported that the FBI subpoenaed a laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden in connection with a money-laundering investigation in late 2019.
