The Hunter Biden laptop apparently has a history that goes back much further than the New York Post bombshell stories. Fox News has reported to have obtained documents showing the FBI tagged the laptop for a “money laundering” probe back in 2019.

It’s unclear if Hunter Biden is the subject of the investigation. The document has a “Case ID” section, with a handwritten number: 272D-BA-3065729. According to the FBI’s website, “272” is the bureau’s classification for money laundering. “272D” refers more specifically to “Money Laundering, Unknown Specified Unlawful Activity–White Collar Crime Program”

The status of the investigation is unknown as the FBI has declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or emails. That isn’t surprising though, as that’s standard practice for the FBI.

The Joe Biden campaign tried to put their own spin on the latest information by pointing the investigation back at President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. A statement released by Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said, “The Attorney General of Delaware’s office indicated that the FBI has ‘ongoing investigations regarding the veracity of this entire story.’ And it would be unsurprising for an investigation of a disinformation action involving Rudy Giuliani and those assisting him to involve questions about money laundering, especially since there are other documented inquiries into his dealings. In fact, Donald Trump’s own national security adviser warned the president that material furnished by Giuliani should be considered tainted by Russian interference.”
