Former Republican Virginia Rep. Denver Riggleman, a legal advisor for Hunter Biden, claimed the contents on Biden’s laptop have not been verified, even though numerous publications have independently verified the laptop’s contents.

Riggleman took to Twitter on Wednesday to explain why he is assisting Biden’s lawyers with data issues and ongoing investigations by House Republicans. (RELATED: Ex-GOP Congressman Working With Hunter Biden’s Legal Team)

“Forensics make clear that considerable information linked to Hunter Biden is questionable,” Riggleman tweeted along with a link to a CBS News story about his work for Biden. A user replied to Riggleman and said the laptop’s contents have already been verified.

“No they haven’t. What ‘data’ is being used? A laptop and data saying it’s a laptop are two different things. NY Post is not a viable source,” Riggleman tweeted to the user. (RELATED: Hunter Biden Admits Laptop Was Real After White House, Media Insist For Months That It Wasn’t)

The contents of Biden’s laptop were first reported by the New York Post ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Doubt was cast on the laptop’s authenticity after a group of 51 former intelligence officials claimed that it was a Russian disinformation campaign in a letter allegedly orchestrated by Biden Secretary of State Tony Blinken. The letter has not been retracted in light of new information and none of the former officials have apologized for it.

Biden’s laptop contents were verified by the Daily Caller News Foundation weeks after Twitter censored the New York Post’s reporting under its “hacked materials” policy. The New York Times, Washington Post and CBS News have since verified the contents of Biden’s laptop.

Hunter Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell appeared to acknowledge the validity of Biden’s laptop data in a February letter to the Department of Justice requesting an investigation into those who accessed Biden’s “personal computer data,” including Delaware computer repairman John Mac Isaac.

“Mr. Mac Isaac has admitted to gaining access to our client’s personal computer data without Mr. Biden’s consent. Mr. Mac Isaac has admitted to copying that data without Mr. Biden’s consent, and Mr. Mac Isaac has admitted to distributing copies of that data to the political enemies of Mr. Biden’s father, without Mr. Biden’s consent,” the letter reads.

“These unlawful actions caused the widespread publication, manipulation, and exploitation of Mr. Biden’s most personal information.”

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.
