White House press secretary Jen Psaki declined to comment multiple times when asked about her past comments that reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020 were part of a "Russian disinformation" campaign.
"I’d point you to the Department of Justice and also to Hunter Biden’s representatives," Psaki told a reporter Wednesday when asked about the White House’s previous dismissal of the laptop reporting which was originally published by the New York Post in October of 2020 and confirmed by the New York Times on Wednesday, well over a year later. "He doesn’t work in government."
Later in the press conference, Psaki was asked about the subject again and was specifically questioned about her past comments that the laptop was "Russian disinformation."
