The big problem with Biden’s pardons | If You're Listening

Hunter Biden has been a main character in far-right conspiracy theories for years, and Donald Trump’s associates spent a lot of effort in search of proof that could lead to his prosecution.

The truth of how that laptop found its way to Trump’s favourite lawyer Rudy Giuliani is almost too bizarre to believe.
