2 ex-FBI officials charged with making false statements about Hunter Biden's laptop
undefinedTwo former FBI officials, Stephen K. Bowles and Brian Pinchuk, have been charged with making false statements about Hunter Biden's laptop.
The charges were announced by the US Department of Justice on October 20, 2022. The alleged false statements were made in connection with the investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop, which was seized by the FBI in 2018.
The laptop contained emails and other documents that were allegedly linked to Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine. Bowles and Pinchuk are accused of making false statements to the FBI about the laptop's origins and the contents of the emails.
The charges were brought under the False Statements Act, which prohibits making false statements to a federal agency. The investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop was led by the FBI's New York Field Office.
The laptop was seized by the FBI in September 2018, after it was reported to the agency by a person claiming to have purchased it from a computer repair shop in Delaware. The charges against Bowles and Pinchuk were announced by the US Department of Justice on October 20, 2022.
The two men were previously employed by the FBI's New York Field Office.
