Former co-host on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast Jack Maxey claimed Wednesday he plans to release thousands of deleted files recovered from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.

Maxey claimed his team recovered 80,000 images and videos and over 120,000 emails totaling 450 gigabytes of “erased material” from Hunter Biden’s laptop abandoned at a Delaware computer store in 2019, he told the Daily Mail. The former podcast host claims he’s the source responsible for distributing copies of Hunter Biden’s laptop’s hard drive to media outlets and members of Congress, including The Washington Post, The New York Times and Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the Daily Mail reported.  (RELATED: Here’s What We’ve Found Digging Through Hunter Biden’s Alleged Laptop)

Maxey left America for Switzerland, fearing retaliation from the Biden administration after he allegedly saw black SUVs appear outside his house shortly after contacting the Daily Mail about Hunter Biden’s laptop, the outlet reported. He claimed he chose to go to Switzerland due to his success uploading the laptop file to a file-sharing service, Swiss Transfer, located inside the country, the Daily Mail reported.

“I came here so that we could do a forensic examination of Hunter’s laptop safely in a country that still respects human liberty and the ideals of liberal democratic principles,” Maxey said in his interview. “I do not believe this would have been possible inside the United States. We had numerous attempts on us from trying to do a thing like this there.”

No major outlet would take a look at the laptop’s contents, Maxey told the Daily Mail. In a moment of “desperation,” he claimed he reached out to a former U.S. intelligence agency staffer friend of his in February 2020 to view the materials, according to the interview. Maxey appeared to be referencing February 2020 in the Daily Mail video, not 2021, as reported by the outlet. After looking at the contents, Maxey claimed his intelligence officer friend told him if he didn’t release more material, he would be “a dead man.” (RELATED: Hunter Biden Addresses Laptop Saga For The First Time)

“Very dear friends of mine, the sharp tip of the spear, were making welfare calls to me every day, basically to see if I was still alive,” he alleged to the Daily Mail.

Maxey attempted to upload the original set of emails to drop boxes around the world, including the U.S., but in some cases, the files were removed in under 15 minutes, he alleged to the outlet.

“There were five drop boxes: two in the United States, one in New Zealand, two in the U.K.,” he said in the interview. “All the same drop boxes in which they tell us child pornography is shared around the globe without any consequence because they can’t look at it. These are all Five Eyes countries, English-speaking countries in an intelligence-sharing agreement. And they were ripped down.”

The potential ability to find and take down information from the internet “should terrify every single decent person in the West,” he told the Daily Mail.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
