This is from the republican led senate intel committee

A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset
He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.

"Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through “US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration,” the report says Russia’s intelligence services “repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his family’s alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine.” In this way, Trump’s circle “laundered” the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculated—and promoted by Russia’s online proxies—as American news."

The Hunter Biden laptop story is just Hillary and her emails 2.0. Hunter Biden's laptop was "discovered" in a computer
repair shop in New Jersey he had never been to and I think thousands of miles away from where he lived.
