On Thursday, an expansive collection of images originating from Hunter Biden's infamous laptop was made available on a fresh online platform, even as the president's son grapples with ongoing inquiries into his foreign business operations and alleged gun and tax law infringements.
The new website, BidenLaptopMedia.com, is hosting nearly 10,000 pictures captured from 2008 to 2019. The images were meticulously curated, redacted where necessary, and uploaded by a former aide from the Trump White House over a span of several months.
Garrett Ziegler, the founder of nonprofit Marco Polo, emphasized the organization's commitment to transparency in a Fox News interview: “The number one thing we’re about … is truth and transparency.”
Among the images withheld from public view are those containing sensitive personal data, including Social Security numbers and banking and credit card information. Pictures of an intimate nature featuring Hunter’s sister-in-law and former partner, Hallie Biden, who was married to the late Beau Biden, are also redacted.

The platform has also unveiled two previously unseen images, one showcasing a text message exchange between Hunter and Hallie, and another featuring Hunter with his former girlfriend, Zoe Kestan. Kestan testified before a Delaware-based federal grand jury last year as part of the ongoing investigation into the president's son.
Ziegler stressed the objective of giving the public a clear picture of the first family: "If the American people want to know what their first family is like, they’re going to get it. And we’re not going to be taking out photos that paint the Bidens in a good light,” he told Fox News Digital.
Federal prosecutors are yet to decide whether they will press charges against the 53-year-old Hunter Biden for alleged offenses including tax fraud and giving false information on a gun purchase form regarding his drug use.
A separate probe into Hunter's overseas business dealings is being undertaken by the House Oversight Committee, which has been meticulously examining bank records to verify allegations of influence trading within the first family.
Many of the images on the laptop depict Hunter in various states of undress, often with drug paraphernalia in the vicinity. In his 2021 memoir “Beautiful Things,” Hunter candidly discusses his long-standing struggle with crack cocaine addiction.
The Marco Polo organization, led by Ziegler, also operates BidenLaptopEmails.com, a platform providing access to over 120,000 emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
