In what appears to be an attempt to confuse readers about the authenticity of a story about Hunter Biden’s business dealings, NBC News found a document debunking a story involving Biden that no one had ever heard about.

The article, titled, “How a fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge,” admits in the first paragraph that it has nothing to do with the laptop left at a computer repair shop in Delaware containing emails showing Hunter, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, using his father’s name to get business deals around the world. The emails and documents, first reported by the New York Post, also contain mentions of Joe Biden taking a cut of the profits from the business deals.
