Hunter Biden
A former aide to Donald Trump has published nearly 9,000 images of it Joe Biden’s son Hunter onlineafter claiming it took months to censor compromising images of him naked and with drugs and prostitutes.
The photos are from a cache of material obtained from a laptop The son of the US president is said to have been kidnapped to a computer repair shop in Delaware.
The content has been passed on to the media and a number of photos have been published in a pre-2020 presidential election attempt to embarrass the Biden campaign.
The latest footage was published online by Marco Polo, a right-wing nonprofit founded by Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump aide.
They show the younger Mr Biden, 53, naked and apparently taking drugs and in the company of sex workers. Hunter’s battle with drug addiction is well documented.

The photos are dated between 2008 and 2019. Mixed in with the explicit images is a selection of family photos, showing members of the Biden clan – including the president – vacationing in Rome.
Other photos are said to have been taken in locations such as Hawaii, Kosovo, China, London and Paris.
Mr Ziegler defended the decision to release the footage, telling the Daily Mail: “If the American people want to know what their first family is like, they’ll get it. And we’re not going to take pictures that portray the Bidens in a good light.”
The photos are presented in chronological order and include geolocation tags so users can see where they were taken on a world map.
Mr Ziegler said it took “months” to sort through the images and edit all the graphics.
Earlier this year, attorneys for Mr Biden wrote to the US Justice Department calling for a criminal investigation into close allies of Mr Trump and others who accessed and distributed data from the laptop.
