Democrats Say Hunter Biden’s Laptop Can’t Be Uploaded Due to ‘Tech Limitations’

“Democrats in the majority used multiple excuses to avoid handling the Hunter Biden laptop in any fashion other than accepting the hard drive via hand delivery,” the Republican staffer, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive committee business, told the Daily Caller.

“Democrats and majority staff are actively obstructing the American people from being able to see the laptop in the public record…
