The origins of the story also trace back to Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has repeatedly pushed unfounded claims about Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden joined the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma in 2014, around the time his father, then U.S. vice president, was helping conduct the Obama administration’s foreign policy with Ukraine.
Hunter Biden himself has not spoken publicly in the last week, including to confirm whether or not the laptop is his.
With two weeks until Election Day and polls showing him trailing Biden, Trump appears to be returning to the subject of his opponent’s family to energize his base.
Trump said in an interview with Newsmax that the Post had caught Biden “cold” with “serious” allegations.
