Got a source for your assertion?

That link doesn't suggest he was battling addiction in April 2019. Got a source that tells us he was in one of this episodes in April 2019? Or are you just another Twitterer who throws "facts" into the dumpster fire?

From Snopes: The Post reported that the saga started in April 2019, when a man identifying himself as Hunter Biden dropped the laptop off at a computer repair shop in the Biden family’s home state of Delaware. The laptop had been damaged by water.

Regardless of your politics, it doesn't take much to believe that a person known to have months-long crack binges went on another binge. Recovery is hard.

Sure, it's not impossible to believe, but DevKoala up there saying "yeah, he did that" with no evidence/verifiable sources, I'll assume he's just talking out of his ass.. (a trait shared by a certain political side)

You are right, it was wrong of me to assert he handed the laptop while intoxicated. Perhaps what I should have said is that given his recent history of addiction, his competence when handling important materials is in question.

Also, the laptop repair shop owner has gone on court to fight for his version of the story.

Thanks for the acknowledgement, sorry that I threw assumptions at you.
