Former Congressman Denver Riggleman has joined Hunter Biden's legal team, focusing on the digital forensics of the controversial laptop. Riggleman's role involves analyzing the data's authenticity, coinciding with heightened scrutiny from House Republicans regarding the laptop's contents. Publicly, Riggleman has expressed skepticism about the data's reliability, questioning whether the laptop and its associated data are genuinely connected. This stance contrasts with reports from various news organizations and an IRS whistleblower confirming the laptop's legitimacy and the untampered nature of its data.

Sources close to Hunter Biden's legal team suggest Riggleman is also providing insights into the investigative strategies employed by House Republicans. The laptop, initially abandoned at a Delaware repair shop and subsequently acquired by the FBI, reportedly contains evidence of potential tax violations, according to an IRS source. The disclosed emails and messages have also raised concerns about President Biden's potential involvement in his son's international business affairs.

Kevin Morris, another lawyer representing Hunter Biden, describes Riggleman as a crucial asset, emphasizing his contribution to unraveling what he terms "corruption and disinformation." Riggleman's presence at a White House Fourth of July gathering with Hunter Biden's legal team further underscores his close involvement. His shift from a staunch Trump critic and advisor to the January 6 Committee to his current role with Hunter Biden marks a significant turn in his political trajectory. This development follows recent reports of newly released footage and photos from the laptop, adding another layer to the ongoing controversy surrounding Hunter Biden's actions and the subsequent investigations.
