Newly released photos, purportedly from Hunter Biden’s infamous abandoned laptop, have caused a stir as they apparently capture him driving at a staggering speed of 172 mph en route to Las Vegas.
The images, taken on August 1, 2018, show the dashboard of Hunter’s silver Porsche, indicating that he was traveling well above the legal speed limit on Interstate 15.
Published by the Daily Mail on July 2, 2023, along with accompanying text threads, the photos suggest Hunter was heading to a hot tub party where women, allegedly identified as prostitutes by the tabloid, awaited his arrival.
One of the women, saved as Cheryl in Hunter’s contacts, expressed her dilemma about not having a bathing suit and potentially being naked at the gathering due to a lack of funds.
According to the Daily Mail, another attendee criticized the party, stating, “Honestly babe, the problem is you have too many girls there.”
The Las Vegas trip appears to be part of a larger bender that Hunter admitted to during a conversation with a prostitute in January 2019.
In that conversation, which was inadvertently recorded on his laptop camera, he recounted his extravagant 18-day stay in various penthouse suites, sometimes costing $10,000 per night.
The collection of controversial laptop photos doesn’t end there. Another image appears to show Hunter Biden smoking crack while driving through a residential neighborhood in Arlington, Va. on June 12, 2018.
In his 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” Hunter admitted to crashing a Buick Verano while under the influence during a drug-fueled episode in Palm Springs, Calif., in October 2016. He revealed being high for 12 consecutive days before eventually seeking rehabilitation in Arizona.
The origin of the photos remains unclear, although many seem to have originated from the right-wing website BidenLaptopMedia.com, managed by Marco Polo, a nonprofit firm led by former Donald Trump aide Garrett Ziegler. The website contains around 10,000 recently uploaded Hunter files spanning from 2008 to 2019.
These photos are said to come from a laptop left at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019. The shop owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, claimed that a man identifying himself as Hunter Biden left the laptop behind.
Isaac filed a defamation suit against Hunter Biden, alleging that he falsely denied ownership of the laptop, instead claiming it was stolen or hacked. Hunter’s legal team has countersued, citing the unauthorized access and dissemination of sensitive and private material.
The laptop first garnered public attention in October 2020 when the New York Post published purported emails retrieved from its contents.
Hunter Biden has never publicly confirmed ownership of the laptop, speculating in a 2021 interview that it could be his, the result of hacking, or even a fabrication by Russian actors.
