Two journalists are now exposing how their former outlet covered up the infamous Hunter Biden laptop situation. 

The journalists, according to the Daily Caller, are Puck News reporter Tara Palmeri and Axios reporter Marc Caputo.

Caputo used to work for Politico, which is why he has inside information about how it happened.

They revealed this information in a recent video.

Background

Before we get to what the journalists have to say, we'll quickly remind you about what happened.

In the leadup to the 2020 presidential election, the New York Post went public with a bombshell report about the content found on a laptop believed to belong to Hunter Biden.

The powers that be immediately went to work trying to cover up the situation. Instrumental was a letter from 51 former intelligence officials claiming that the laptop "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." The mainstream media took this an ran with it, and big tech used the letter to justify banning news reports about the laptop.

The problem, of course, is that the laptop was not "a Russian information operation." Rather, it was real - and the U.S. government knew it was real. In fact, the government went on to use the contents of the laptop to provide evidence for its prosecution of Hunter Biden.

Perhaps the most important part about this story is that the coverup worked. Multiple polls, since the 2020 presidential election, have shown that a significant number of voters would not have voted for Biden had they known that the laptop was the real deal. This would have been enough to swing the election in President Donald Trump's favor.

The latest

Now, Palmeri and Caputo are exposing how Politico worked to cover up the Hunter Biden scandal.

Caputo said:

Politico did that terrible, ill-fated headline: 51 intelligence agents, or former intelligence agents, say that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation, or bore the hallmarks of disinformation. Turns out that story was closer to disinformation because the Hunter Biden laptop appeared to be true. But then Facebook also pulled all stories down about the Hunter Biden laptop, and I think Twitter did at the same time, too.

The journalists went on to reveal how they had difficulty publishing stories about the situation.

Caputo revealed:

I was covering Biden at the time, and I remember coming to my editor and saying, ‘Hey, we need to write about the Hunter Biden laptop.’ And I was told this came from on high at Politico: Don’t write about the laptop, don’t talk about the laptop, don’t tweet about the laptop. And the only thing Politico wound up writing was that piece that called it disinformation, which charitably could be called misinformation, at the least.

A relevant question, in all of this, is why these reporters have only chosen now to come forward.
