The story was based on purported emails from Hunter Biden that were retrieved from a laptop and reportedly supplied to President Donald Trump\u2019s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who gave them to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>Skeptics noted that the Ukrainian company in question had been <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/01\/13\/us\/politics\/russian-hackers-burisma-ukraine.html\" class=\"icon none\">previously hacked<\/a> by the Russian military, and raised concerns that the emails the Post article was based on may have been a Russian disinformation effort.
