A website showcasing almost 10,000 photos obtained from Hunter Biden’s laptop has been launched by the founder of the nonprofit Marco Polo, Garrett Ziegler.
The website, named BidenLaptopMedia.com, hosts a collection of images from 2008 to 2019.
Ziegler, an ex-aide of the Trump White House, said the project took a couple of months to complete.
Ziegler explained the process involved in creating the website, stating, “It’s taken us a couple of months to, one, go through the photos, about 10,000 of them, and redact the genitalia on the photos.”
He assured that private information such as Social Security numbers, banking details, and credit card numbers in the images had been redacted.
He added that the project is about “truth and transparency” and suggested that it would provide the American public a comprehensive view of the Biden family.
He also noted that images presenting the Bidens favorably will not be removed.
Ziegler referenced an image of a letter written by Hunter’s daughter Finnegan, intended for troops stationed overseas, saying, “It’s an adorable letter. Finnegan’s around 9 years old at the time, and it definitely paints the Bidens in a good light.”
Some of the images exclusively released to Fox News Digital before the website’s launch depict Hunter Biden with his then-partner Zoe Kestan, along with remnants of drugs he had allegedly used in 2018.
However, the website will not include content without “news value,” as per Ziegler.
He cited the example of Candy Crush game screenshots, saying that “there’s absolutely no news value to those.”
In terms of its breadth, Ziegler claims that the photo project is a “completely authentic recounting of the photos on the device” covering a “large swath” of the Biden family’s life.
He reassured that the purpose of the website is not to harm the reputation of the Bidens. He clarified, “this is not a hit job. We’re going to keep all the photos that paint the Bidens in a good light and keep all the photos that paint the Bidens in a bad light.”
The website also boasts a photo viewing app enabling users to access the metadata of the images, including where and when the photo was taken, along with any available technical information.
Ziegler referred to the website as “the most thorough exposé of any American first family while they’re in office in the history of America.”
After the website’s launch, the servers were reportedly under significant strain due to the high engagement.
Videos from the laptop are set to be released later as Ziegler’s team needs to employ AI tools for censoring due to the abundance of pornography.
Finally, Ziegler urged reporters to examine a few “questionable” photos he believes deserve attention.
