Hunter Biden is turning the laptop that upended his father's presidency into a cryptocurrency that takes aim at President Donald Trump.

According to a Monday article by the Wall Street Journal, the son of former President Joe Biden will launch a meme coin called $LAPTOP on September 9 and trade it on Base, a blockchain built by the crypto exchange Coinbase. The token's name nods to the personal computer whose contents, including foreign business records, drug use and explicit photos, fueled years of investigations and conspiracy theories after surfacing in 2020.

The rollout takes direct aim at the Trump family. According to people familiar with Biden's plans who spoke to The Journal, roughly 20 percent of the one billion tokens will be sent to crypto wallets belonging to people who lost money on $TRUMP, the president's own meme coin, along with subscribers to Hunter Biden's Substack and a mailing list run by his friend, video journalist Andrew Callaghan. $TRUMP briefly approached a $15 billion market value after its January 2025 debut before collapsing....

An interview with Hunter Biden and far-right influencer Nick Fuentes almost ended in a brawl, TMZ reported on Monday.

Biden, Fuentes and YouTuber Andrew Callaghan from Channel 5 met up at a motel room in Philadelphia on Sunday for a political discussion when things went south.

Hunter Biden started posting on X last month for the first time and has unleashed his thoughts on CNN anchor Jake Tapper, MAGA, and now one of President Donald Trump's closest advisors — Stephen Miller.

On Thursday, Biden took issue with one of Trump's longest-running insiders and White House chief of staff in a blunt comment in response to a user named Case on X, who said, "gonna need Hunter Biden to also call Stephen Miller an ugly f---."

"Stephen Miller is an ugly f---," Biden said in a cheeky response....

President Donald Trump's administration is reportedly seeking to free a former FBI informant who admitted he lied to federal agents during the 2020 presidential election, an insider has claimed.

Alexander Smirnov was arrested by the FBI in February 2024 and charged with lying to the agency. He faces a up to 25 years in prison, but the president and his team could be working on releasing Smirnov. An unnamed source speaking to Mother Jones claimed the administration is in the process of aiding the ex-FBI informant with avoiding his sentence and even trial.

Smirnov is believed to have lied to the FBI about both Hunter and Joe Biden in 2020. Around the same time, prosecutors claim the ex-FBI informant was paid $600,000 by Economic Transformation Technologies. Two of ETT's owners, Shahal M. Khan and Farooq Arjomand, are associates of Donald Trump. ...

Hunter Biden refused to apologize to Melania Trump after she threatened to sue him for $1 billion over the claim that she was introduced to President Donald Trump by sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In an interview earlier this month, Biden cited journalist Michael Wolff to suggest that Epstein had introduced Donald Trump to the future first lady. Attorneys for the Trumps demanded that Biden apologize and that the video be taken down.

"F— that. That's not gonna happen," Biden told YouTube host Andrew Callaghan this week. "The primary source was the interviews that Michael Wolff has been conducting, in which he has actually tapes of, I think, hours and hours and hours of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein directly."...

CNN's Kasie Hunt pressed House Ways and Means Committee chair Jason Smith (R-MO) Tuesday on using his subpoena powers to light the fuse on the Jeffrey Epstein files instead of waiting an entire month until lawmakers are back from August recess.

Smith maintained that Americans don't care about the Epstein issue enough for him to take extraordinary steps to release the information.

But Hunt didn't back away....
