Former Virginia Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman, who advised the Jan. 6 committee, has joined Hunter Biden’s legal team to combat GOP investigations into the president’s son, conduct data investigations and analysis, and attempt to pour cold water on the first son’s now-infamous laptop.
Riggleman, who served only one term in Congress before losing a primary in 2020, confirmed in a tweet on Wednesday that he is working with the younger Biden’s legal team to conduct data investigations and analysis to ensure the information being released about the president’s son is factual and wholly accurate.

“Truth matters. When I took this job, I wasn’t pro-Hunter or anti-Hunter. I am pro-data and facts,” he said in the tweet. “Forensics make clear that considerable information linked to Hunter Biden is questionable.”
Riggleman previously served as a senior technical adviser to the House Jan. 6 committee, which probed the 2021 assault on the Capitol following the defeat of former President Donald Trump.
In subsequent tweets, Riggleman sought to push back on users claiming the laptop and its content were legitimate and factual.
Numerous news outlets have confirmed the authenticity of the data from Biden’s laptop, and a whistleblower for the IRS recently told the House Ways and Means Committee that the FBI confirmed the authenticity of the laptop by November 2019.
Riggleman also sought to pour water on the whistleblower’s testimony, tweeting, “NY Post is not a viable source. And Shapley… well, more to come,” referring to the New York Post first breaking the story on Biden’s laptop and IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, who is one of the IRS whistleblowers.

Shapley and another unnamed whistleblower came forward in late June with information regarding significant interference from the Justice Department in Biden’s criminal investigation. They also claimed that some contents from the laptop were withheld from them during their investigation despite the laptop potentially containing evidence of crimes committed by Biden.
House Republicans have ramped up their investigations into Biden since it was announced he plans to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax crimes and likely skirt jail time. The two IRS whistleblowers alleged that during the process of the investigation, information was withheld from the investigators, including allegations made by a paid FBI informant that Biden and then Vice-President Joe Biden were involved in a foreign bribery scheme.
