It was recently reported by TrendingPolitics that The New York Times seems to be finally taking allegations of Biden family corruption seriously. It is suing the U.S. State Department for emails related to Hunter Biden. The investigation is to determine potential foreign influence on now-President Biden.
“The New York Times has sued the State Department for allegedly dragging its feet in handing over emails from Romanian embassy officials connected to Hunter Biden and his famed former business associate Tony Bobulinski,” the Daily Mail reported on Tuesday.
“The lawsuit, filed Monday in Manhattan federal court, seeks emails dating 2015 to 2019,” the article states. “The Times alleges that the State Department is failing to address its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in a timely manner. When the Times asked when the State Dept. would get around to the request, the paper was told to expect an answer on April 15, 2023, according to Politico.”
“The Times appears to be looking into whether embassy personnel did any special favors on behalf of business officials, including the president’s son and Bobulinski. Joe Biden was serving as vice president for two of the years the emails cover, 2015-2016,” the article added.
The lawsuit comes long after a New York Post exclusive in fall 2020 blew open the Hunter Biden laptop story and ostensible Biden foreign corruption involving primarily a Ukrainian gas giant called Burisma and Chinese oligarchs close to the Chinese Communist Party.
The New York Times acted with several other mainstream media outlets to quell concerns about Biden’s ties to foreign interests during the 2020 campaign, despite its breathless coverage over debunked Trump collusion with the Russian government during the 2016 campaign. As National Review pointed out:
Curiously, though, the Times describes the Post‘s story as “unsubstantiated” without doing any of the work required to actually discredit it. Indeed, the “unsubstantiated” descriptor is tacked on without any supporting evidence suggesting that the Post‘s reporting was erroneous. No such evidence is referenced in the Times‘ reporting, nor in anyone else’s, though “Russian misinformation” was a common refrain from Democrats’ last October.
Big Tech suppressed the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop stories that blew the lid off the story. When censorship wasn’t enough to quiet concerns, media outlets and even intel agencies wrongly dismissed the report as bearing the hallmark signs of “Russian disinformation.” However, Politico would later concede that the Hunter Biden laptop is authentic.
Since the election, the New York Post’s reporting, as well as more disturbing reports about Biden family ties to foreign governments have arisen. The White House has dismissed these concerns, as have federal investigators presumably tasked with investigating it.
