According to two people familiar with the matter, a different Hunter Biden laptop landed in the custody of the DEA in February when they executed a search warrant on the Massachusetts office of a psychiatrist accused of professional misconduct. The psychiatrist has not been charged with a crime.
Drug Enforcement Administration officers executed a search warrant at the office of Keith Ablow, a prominent former psychiatrist whose license was suspended following allegations he sexually exploited patients.
Ablow, a nationally known author, last year settled several malpractice lawsuits that alleged that he engaged in sexual relationships with patients, inappropriately prescribed drugs, and committed "boundary violations” between 2011 and 2018.

While under Ablow’s care, all three said they received infusions of the anesthetic Ketamine to treat depression.
During some sexual encounters, the women said Ablow beat them with a belt with a skull-shaped buckle and told one words to the effect of “I own you,” and “You are my slave.”
The same woman wrote in an affidavit that she had Ablow’s Facebook name tattooed on her inner forearm.
Massachusetts regulators barred him from practicing medicine last month after concluding he poses “an immediate and serious threat to public health.”
In May, a different medical malpractice case filed against Ablow in 2016 settled shortly before trial. Details of the agreement weren’t filed in court. In that case, a 55-year-old antiques dealer from Cape Cod accused Ablow of crossing clinical boundaries by e-mailing and texting her outside of therapy sessions, helping her open a store in Newburyport, prescribing medications for her family members, and suggesting she have an affair with help from the online dating service Ashley Madison. The company’s famous slogan is: “Life is short. Have an affair.” The lawsuit didn’t accuse Ablow of sexual misconduct.
Ablow has testified as a defense witness in the high-profile trials of Dr. Richard Sharpe, who was convicted of killing his wife in Wenham, and Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, the German national serving time for murder in California who pretended to be a member of the Rockefeller dynasty.

Ablow: Will run with GOP backing
Newbury psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow yesterday said he will only declare his candidacy to fill John Kerry’s U.S. Senate seat if he is the sole Republican candidate on the ballot and he has the full support of the GOP party.
Ablow said he’s not interested in campaigning for the seat if it means first battling another Republican candidate in a primary fight — nor does he think such a fight would be advisable for the party.
The Fox News contributor said his potential candidacy is predicated on the party’s full leadership at the state and national level being united around him to preclude a primary. But he acknowledged such a show of “unity looks improbable at this time.”
“The window is short for a primary battle,” Ablow said in an interview. “I think spending money on a primary, which should be spent on defeating someone in the general election, is ill-advised, that and the time wasted being contentious with another Republican candidate when the whole party has to be unified in an extraordinary way to have even a chance of prevailing, those are the reasons I’m not interested in fighting through a primary.”
The primary is scheduled for April 30, with the special election to be held on June 25.
Ablow announced last month that he would consider running as a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate if both former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld opted out as candidates. Brown took himself out of the race on Friday, and Weld followed suit yesterday.
The list of potential Republican candidates to replace Kerry, who was confirmed last week as U.S. secretary of state, has been shrinking every day.
Former Gov. Jane Swift has ruled out a run, as has Richard Tisei, the former state Senate minority leader who ran unsuccessfully against U.S. Rep. John Tierney last fall. Former Gov. and presidential hopeful Mitt Romey’s son, Tagg Romney, whose name was being floated, announced last night that he wasn’t interested in pursuing the seat.
That leaves Romney’s former lieutenant governor, Kerry Healey, who also served as a foreign policy adviser in Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign; ex-Navy SEAL and fighter pilot Gabriel Gomez; Massachusetts state Rep. Dan Winslow, R-Norfolk, who is expected to announce his decision today; and former state Rep. Karyn Polito among the remaining possible candidates
Congressmen Edward Markey of Malden and Stephen Lynch of South Boston are vying for the Democratic nomination in the special election.
Ablow, an outspoken conservative commentator who calls himself a political outsider, said he’s been talking with national Republican operative Roger Stone as well as some key party figures on the state level, who he said aren’t comfortable publicly revealing themselves at this time.
He expects the picture to become clearer in the next few days, since a decision on who enters the race must be made quickly. Party candidates have until Feb. 27 to turn in 10,000 signatures to election officials to be included on the ballot. Ablow said the task is no small feat.
“If one started today, they would need to get 500 signatures a day,” he said.
Ablow doesn’t believe the Republican Party can go without a candidate in the race.
“I can’t imagine the party would like the special election to go uncontested, nor do they need to … and they just might win,” he said.
But he also acknowledged he might not be exactly whom the party has in mind.
“The theme for my campaign would be that the truth doesn’t have a political agenda. This wouldn’t be about making myself palatable to the greatest number of people. This would be about being completely honest about what I think and why and letting people make their own, autonomous, honest judgments.
“ … To candy-coat anything I believe in or withhold any opinion I have on an issue would be counter to everything I have worked for my entire life.”
If the Republican Party opts to support another candidate, Ablow said he will work hard to elect that individual. And should that candidate lose, he would likely offer again to be a Senate candidate from Massachusetts in 2014 — under the same demands of the party leadership
“Nobody knows the future. To predict a year or two or five from now is folly,” he said. “It might not be today, but maybe it will be in the future that plainspoken beliefs are embraced because they are not enough right now.”

Potential Republican candidate for special election discusses gun control, mental health
Dr. Keith Ablow joined the FOX 25 Morning News on Tuesday to discuss his potential run in the special election for senate if Sen. John Kerry is confirmed as Secretary of State.
Dr. Ablow is a forensic psychiatrist regularly featured on various shows including some on FOX News. He says he wants to unify behind one candidate and would give running for senate serious consideration if Republicans Bill Weld and Scott Brown didn't announce.
The prominent forensic psychiatrist responded to previous statements he made about the Newtown, Conn. shooting on Tuesday. Dr. Ablow says he wished the teachers at the Sandy Hook Elementary School were armed.
"I did say that because I think this issue is not about gun control," Dr. Ablow explains. "It's so frustrating to me, you know most mass shootings, they all involve people with psychiatric problems and we have a mental health system that is in shambles, which I've written extensively about. We need to really solve problems, not pontificate."
Dr. Ablow continued with his discussion of gun control by saying that disarming people takes away their autonomy, doesn't sit well with the Constitution, and "doesn't go with the facts."
"The bottom line is that assault weapons are used in a vast minority of these killings and so do we really believe that by taking these guns away from citizens who acquire them legally that the people who are on edge in terms of their psychiatric status are not going to shift to another means of committing these crimes? Of course they are," says Dr. Ablow.
The psychiatrist says that his other policy concerns are education, tax code, and creating a strong policy that supports Israel and makes it clear that the U.S. can't tolerate nuclear weapons in the hands of nations like Iran.

Carrollton mayoral candidate accused of mail ballot fraud
A man who hopes to be the next mayor of Carrollton was arrested Wednesday for allegedly requesting and opening dozens of fraudulent absentee mail ballots.
Zul Mirza Mohamed, who is a candidate for mayor in Carrollton, is charged with 84 counts of mail ballot application fraud and 25 counts of unlawful possession of an official mail ballot.
Mohamed has been unsuccessful at getting elected to public office. A few years ago, he ran for mayor and only had 2% of the votes.
Now, instead of looking at a seat inside city hall, Mohamed is sitting in jail on ballot fraud charges.
According to the Denton County Sheriff’s Office, investigators began working in September to identify the person who requested that numerous absentee ballots be sent to a post office box in Lewisville.
The box allegedly belonged to a nursing home, but investigators quickly determined it was rented by someone using a fake driver’s license and student ID.
“You know, nursing homes wouldn’t have a post office box to receive letters and packages for their residents,” said Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree.
Investigators also talked to the Carrollton residents who had supposedly requested that the absentee ballots be sent to that post office box. They all said they had not requested a ballot, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
Undercover officers began working at the post office and spotted the suspect on Wednesday picking up the requested ballots. They followed him to a home on Bennington Drive in Carrollton.
Investigators got a warrant to search Mohamed’s home and allegedly found the ballots open in a bedroom. They also found the fake ID used to rent the post office box, the sheriff's office said.
Mohamed is running for mayor against incumbent Kevin Falconer, who is heavily favored to win. Carrollton is partially in Denton County, as well as Dallas and Collin counties.
If convicted, Mohamed faces up to 20 years in prison and fines for the felony offenses.
The city of Carrollton says if Mohamed wins and is convicted, state law would vacate that seat.
