A witness in a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on Thursday schooled Manhattan and Brooklyn Rep. Dan Goldman about the government’s efforts to censor The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop, accusing the Manhattan Democrat of engaging in a “conspiracy theory” about contents on its hard drive having been “manipulated.”
“You’ve talked about the Hunter Biden laptop, and how the FBI knew it existed,” Goldman told Substack and “Twitter Files” journalist Michael Shellenberger during a Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing.
“You are aware, of course, that the laptop, so to speak, … 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. You’re aware of that right?” Goldman asked.
“It was the same contents,” Shellenberger responded.
“How do you know?” Goldman shot back. “You would have to authenticate it to know it was the same contents.”
“Are you suggesting the New York Post participated in a conspiracy to construct the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop?” Shellenberger replied.
“No, sir, the problem is that hard drives can be manipulated by Rudy Giuliani or Russia,” Goldman said.
“But what’s the evidence that that happened?” Shellenberger asked.
“Well, there is actual evidence of it,” Goldman went on. “But the point is it’s not the same thing.”
“There’s no evidence of that, so you’re engaging in a conspiracy theory,” Shellenberger said, before being cut off.
“I’m glad you agree with me, Mr. Shellenberger, that transparency is the most important thing,” Goldman interjected, moving on to his next question.
