Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on his show Wednesday night that he had obtained more documents relating to Hunter Biden, but said they were lost in the mail.
On his show, Carlson said he received a “collection of confidential documents related to the Biden family.” Without going into any details about their contents, he said they were “authentic, they’re real, and they’re damning.”
On October 14, the New York Post published a report stating that they had obtained emails from the laptop of presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. The Post alleges that in 2014, Hunter leveraged his father’s position as U.S. vice president in an attempt to increase his pay as a board member at Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Carlson said the unspecified documents were being sent to him in Los Angeles from New York, but they never arrived. He said that the delivery company, which he did not name, said the package “had been opened and the contents were missing.”
“As of tonight the company has no idea, and no working theory even, about what happened to this trove of materials, documents that are directly relevant to the presidential campaign,” he said.
After his segment aired, many people began to doubt Carlson’s claims.
“Oh for f*%! sake, seriously?” tweeted Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee. “Would have been a better story if your dog ate the damn papers.”
According to
Business Insider
, UPS came forward and said it was the provider that lost the package and was investigating the matter.
Business Insider also said that Fox News did not respond to comment as to why no other copies of the documents were saved. |
