Glenn Greenwald: 'Journalistic malpractice' for interviewers to not ask Hunter Biden about emails
'Everyone knows now that the Hunter Biden documents ... are authentic,' Pulitzer winner tweets
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald is urging reporters to press Hunter Biden on emails from his laptop related to his business dealings overseas.
As part of the launch of his "Beautiful Things" book tour, the son of President Biden raised eyebrows during a pair of CBS interviews when he said that the laptop that emerged during the 2020 campaign "could" be his and that it "could" have been stolen. In another interview, he falsely claimed that the intelligence community had determined that the reports on the laptop contents by the New York Post were based on "Russian disinformation," which then-ODNI John Ratcliffe flatly denied.
Greenwald insisted on Twitter Friday that those who interview Hunter Biden need to delve deeper into the contents of the laptop.

"Anyone 'interviewing' Hunter Biden who doesn't ask these questions is committing journalistic malpractice," he continued. "*Were any of reported emails attributed to you forged? *Did you pursue the business deals in China reflected in those emails? *Did the "big guy's 10%" refer to Joe [Biden]?"

However, social media giants and members of the mainstream media went to great lengths to prevent the story from being seen.
