BBC World Service - The Inquiry, What’s the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop?

A laptop alleged to belong to Hunter Biden has been scrutinised and argued over since being left at a computer shop in 2019. What is on the laptop and why is it so controversial?

Three weeks before the 2020 US presidential election a newspaper published contents of a laptop they said belonged to Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, who at that time was campaigning against Donald Trump to win the election. The contents allegedly revealed questionable business dealings that implicated Joe Biden, and lurid personal details of Hunter Biden’s life. Some media outlets refused to run the story and social media platforms blocked the content. Since then other newspapers have tried to verify the laptop data and it still remains controversial today with hints there are more revelations to come. Charmaine Cozier asks what is the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop?
