<p>A witness testifying before <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congress</a> on Thursday accused a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Democrat</a> of &#8220;engaging in a conspiracy theory&#8221; about the abandoned laptop believed to have belonged to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a>.</p>
<p>The witness, journalist and author Michael Shellenberger, called out Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reporter-calls-out-rep-dan-goldman-over-archer-testimony-claim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dan Goldman</a> (D-NY) during a Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/committee-activity/hearings/hearing-weaponization-federal-government-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hearing</a> on social media censorship while they discussed the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">breaking the Hunter Biden laptop story</a> in the weeks before the 2020 election based on emails from a copy of a hard drive.</p>
<p>&#8220;You are aware of the &#8216;laptop&#8217;, so to speak &#8230; that was published in the New York Post was actually a hard drive that the New York Post admitted here was not authenticated as real. It was not the laptop the FBI had,&#8221; Goldman said, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEZFgh3sYTs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referring to his exchange</a> with former New York Post reporter Emma-Jo Morris earlier this year. &#8220;You&#8217;re aware of that, right?&#8221; he added.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rep. <a href="https://twitter.com/danielsgoldman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@danielsgoldman</a> on Hunter&#39;s laptop: Hard drives can be manipulated by Rudy Giuliani, or Russia&quot; <a href="https://t.co/vkWuwoSJLR">pic.twitter.com/vkWuwoSJLR</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) <a href="https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1730279391878361264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 30, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;It was the same contents,&#8221; Shellenberger replied.</p>
<p>&#8220;How do you know?&#8221; Goldman asked. &#8220;You would have to authenticate it to know it was the same contents. You have no idea. You know hard drives can be manipulated,&#8221; he added before Shellenberger could complete an answer.</p>
<p>&#8220;Are you suggesting the New York Post participated in a conspiracy to construct the contents of the Hunter biden laptop?&#8221; Shellenberger shot back.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, sir. Hard drives can be manipulated by Rudy Giuliani, or Russia,&#8221; Goldman said, referring to the former New York City mayor who had been working as a personal lawyer for former President Donald Trump at the time of the laptop fiasco. When Shellenberger asked what evidence there was of manipulation, Goldman contended, &#8220;Well, there is actual evidence of it, but the point is it&#8217;s not the same thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shellenberger retorted, &#8220;There&#8217;s no evidence for it, so you&#8217;re engaging in a conspiracy theory.&#8221;</p>

<p>Biden <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/546148-hunter-biden-doesnt-know-if-delaware-laptop-was-his/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has said in the past</a> that he did not know whether he was the owner of the laptop abandoned at a Delaware repair shop before it was seized by the FBI. His legal team has <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hunter-biden-denver-riggleman-former-gop-congressman-jan-6-select-committee-adviser/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly been</a> looking for possible distorted or fabricated data linked to the first son and they recently <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/26/hunter-biden-sues-rudy-giuliani-over-infamous-laptop.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued</a> Giuliani over the laptop. Yet over the past few years, many of the laptop&#8217;s contents — revealing details about Biden&#8217;s personal life and work — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-allegedly-informed-twitter-the-hunter-biden-laptop-was-real-on-key-date" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have been</a> analyzed and <a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">shown to be authentic</a>.</p>
<p>In the hours that followed publication of the New York Post&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-cybersecurity-expert-authenticates-new-york-posts-smoking-gun-hunter-biden-email-report-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;smoking-gun&#8221; email story</a>, Twitter temporarily blocked the <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> with details of Biden&#8217;s shady business dealings and his father&#8217;s possible ties to them from being shared, claiming the story violated its rule against sharing &#8220;hacked&#8221; materials. Facebook also took steps to limit the spread of the story, which came just weeks before Hunter&#8217;s father, Joe Biden, was elected president of the United States.</p>
<p>Around this time, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/active-cia-employee-asked-intel-veteran-if-he-would-sign-hunter-biden-letter-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">51 former intelligence officials signed a letter</a> that suggested the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> laptop story had the &#8220;classic earmarks&#8221; of a Russian disinformation operation. A firestorm ensued when POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published a headline</a> that said the former intelligence officials were claiming the laptop story was “Russian disinfo&#8221; and then the elder Biden <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house-gop-demand-records-from-ex-intel-officials-about-hunter-biden-laptop-letter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">used</a> the letter to cast doubt on it during a debate against Trump.</p>
<p>While Democrats in Congress downplayed the social media clampdown on the story, Republicans raised concerns about there being a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-subpoenas-big-tech-executives-in-collusion-investigation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coordinated effort</a> involving Big Tech and government agents to suppress damaging information about the Bidens in the run-up to the 2020 election — including when it <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2023-07-20-jdj-to-wray-re-dehmlow-testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came to the laptop</a>. People who worked as executives at <a href="https://6abc.com/former-twitter-execs-say-removal-of-hunter-biden-laptop-story-was-a/12790381/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a>, which as since been rebranded to X, and <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/25/mark-zuckerberg-criticizes-twitters-handling-of-the-posts-hunter-biden-laptop-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a> later conceded that cracking down on the story was a mistake.</p>
<p>Hunter Biden is now facing federal gun charges, to which he has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-pleads-not-guilty-to-gun-charges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pleaded not guilty</a>, and tax counts may soon follow. House Republicans are looking into the Department of Justice&#8217;s handling of the criminal probe into Hunter Biden as part of an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-unveil-biden-impeachment-inquiry-website" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> inquiry against President Biden.</p>
