Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is requesting a statement from FBI Director Christopher Wray about the veracity of details found on a laptop purported to belong to the son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, after the New York Post published explosive new claims about the family’s business ties abroad.
Johnson, in a letter (pdf) to Wray over the weekend, said a whistleblower contacted his committee on Sept. 24 about the laptop that was left at his business, saying he turned it over to the FBI. Johnson said that his staff immediately asked if the agency could either confirm or deny details to validate the claim about emails by the former vice president’s son Hunter Biden, but he said the FBI wouldn’t confirm or deny the information found on the device.
