White House press secretary Jen Psaki repeatedly spread disinformation about Hunter Biden’s laptop — before and after the 2020 presidential election.
Psaki’s public statements on the laptop are receiving more scrutiny after the New York Times finally reported Wednesday that emails from the laptop as authentic, after leading the charge to dismiss them during the 2020 election.
When asked about the authenticity of the laptop in December, Psaki said she “neither had the time nor interest” in reading a book about the subject.
She also ignored a question about whether she regretted sharing misinformation about the laptop.
In September, Psaki again dismissed questions about the laptop as “Russian disinformation” to ward off questions about the laptop.
“I think it’s broadly known and widely known that there was a broad range of Russian disinformation back in 2020,” she said in response to a question on the laptop.
During the 2020 election, Psaki shared the same talking point on social media.
