After alleging that it took months to remove incriminating pictures of Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden in his underwear, using drugs, and with prostitutes, a former Donald Trump adviser has posted nearly 9,000 of them online.
The images were taken from a cache of data taken from a laptop that the son of the US president apparently brought to a Delaware computer repair shop.
Controversy Surrounds Hunter Biden Images
In an effort to humiliate the Biden campaign, the contents were leaked to the media, and several of the images were published before the 2020 presidential election.
The most recent photos were released online by Marco Polo, a right-wing non-profit organization headed by Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump employee.
They depict the 53-year-old Mr. Biden, who is younger, as naked, appearing to be high, and hanging out with sex workers. The struggle Hunter had with heroin addiction is well known.
The images range in period from 2008 to 2019. A few family photos of the Biden family, including the president, on vacation in Rome are mixed in among the graphic images.

Additional images are said to have been captured in places like Hawaii, Kosovo, China, London, and Paris.
If the American people want to know what their first family is like, they’re going to get it, Mr. Ziegler said in a statement to the Daily Mail in defense of the decision to disclose the photos.
The images are shown in chronological order and with geolocation tags so that viewers may view the locations of the photos on a map of the entire world.
The process of going through the photographs and removing any explicit content, according to Mr. Ziegler, took months.
Attorneys for Joe Biden wrote to the US Justice Department earlier this year requesting a criminal probe into Trump’s close associates and others who viewed and shared data from the laptop.
