Talk show Bill Maher host accused left-wing media outlets of burying the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Maher addressed how liberal media outlets are finally acknowledging the Hunter Biden laptop story that was first reported in October 2020 by the New York Post.
“I remember reading about this a couple of years ago, the New York Post came across… Hunter Biden’s computer, which he apparently left at a computer repair store,” Maher recalled.
Maher advised that Hunter Biden should never leave his computer with other people “just for the personal stuff” that was allegedly found on the laptop.
“But it also had stuff about how, you know, c’mon, he’s a ne’er-do-well. I’m sorry, Hunter Biden, but you are,” Maher remarked. “You made a living being ne’er-do-well who was taking money just because you were the vice president’s son and you had influence.”
“He got, I think $4.8, yes, million from Chinese energy companies to sit on the board and consult,” Maher stated.
After reviewing government records, court documents, bank statements, and emails from Biden’s laptop, the Washington Post confirmed this week that the Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC China Energy paid $4.8 million to entities controlled by Hunter Biden and his uncle, James Biden. The Chinese energy conglomerate paid a $1 million legal retainer and $3.8 million in consulting fees.
Maher joked, “Yeah, that was his passion in life: energy exploration. Hooker exploration was his passion.”

Maher acknowledged, “So the New York Post got a hold of what was in the computer. And, you know, because the New York Post is a Republican paper, and the New York Times and the Washington Post are the Democratic paper[s].”
“And the Republican paper, Twitter… canceled their account! They can’t even report on this story,” Maher said in regards to the New York Post – a newspaper that was founded by Alexander Hamilton more than 220 years ago – being locked out of its official Twitter account for 16 days for sharing the Hunter Biden scandal accusations on social media.
He added, “And now two years later, the New York Times and the Washington Post have come around and say, ‘Okay, there was something there.'”
The New York Times finally authenticated key details in the Hunter Biden story last month.
Maher conceded that the Hunter Biden laptop story should have been taken with a “giant thing of salt” since the New York Post received the information from hardcore Trump allies Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon.
Here is how Maher reacted at the time of the New York Post story went viral:
