The arrest of two former FBI officials brought with it a new sordid allegation against Hunter Biden involving his infamous laptop from hell.
Friday, two former officials with the bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) were arrested over allegations that they lied to Congress about their involvement in investigating the Biden family and the 2020 presidential election. Contained within an affidavit is a claim from a sex worker that Hunter Biden threatened ,”I know where you are.”
Within the FBI’s probable cause statement pertaining to the arrest of former FBI officials Nikki Floris, 46, and Bradley Benavides, 56, the contents of an email from the former specifying, “Per our chat list week,” read, “Complainant reports that she received a text from [Biden] that she perceived as threat in which [Biden] said ‘Don’t forget that I know where you are, you have an ankle bracelet and that the laptop was recording’ Complainant further notes that she had intercourse with [Biden] in front of the laptop while facetiming with a third party (Complainant describes as a cam girl) who [Biden] knew.”
Adding context to the email, the affidavit read, “After the November 2020 election, BENAVIDES departed FITF, but FLORIS remained engaged with the Hunter Biden investigations. On December 21, 2020, FBI Employee 2 sent FLORIS a report about an escort that Hunter Biden had failed to pay for sex.”
The court document continued, “The report included allegations that she had been threatened by Hunter Biden, among others. In the email to FLORIS, FBI Employee 2 wrote: ‘Nikki — For info of FITF, the financial transaction noted in the complaint was verified by the investigative team.’ FLORIS forwarded the email to FBI Employee 5, adding ‘Per our chat last week.'”
As was reported, Floris, who served as FITF Deputy Assistant Director, and Benavides, who was FITF Section Chief, surrendered on arrest warrants following a criminal complaint that they allegedly lied to Congress.
While Floris claimed to have had no knowledge of the laptop when testifying to Congress in July 2023, Benavides contended he had only learned about it via Wikipedia.
Contradicting those claims, the Justice Department argues that an Oct. 16, 2020 email featured the FITF lead responding “Looks good!” to a meeting “To Discuss Laptop” described as a “Russian disinformation effort.”
Further, the affidavit states, “Throughout 2021, Hunter Biden remained a regular topic between FLORIS and her FITF subordinates,” whom they spoke of using the codename “Sportsman.”
“Do you want to chat Sportsman today?” “Sportman [sic] one pager,” Can [we] pop down and talk about that reporting and Sportsman?” were all examples of communications regarding the then-first son of President Joe Biden.
Of course, Hunter Biden, who received a blanket pardon from his father pertaining to “those offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1 2024, including but not limited to all offenses charged or prosecuted (including any that have resulted in convictions),” has himself denied the laptop proves anything “other than a record of me being a degenerate, a degenerate drug addict in my, in at the worst moment in my life.”
