The Guardian via Yahoo NewsAs Tucker Carlson asked Hunter Biden for help getting his son into an elite Washington university in 2014, the Fox News hosts wife, Susie, reportedly wrote in an email: Tucker and I have the greatest respect and admiration for you. Always!
Since the 2020 election, however, Carlson has fueled rightwing attacks on Joe Bidens son, particularly over business affairs in which he allegedly benefited from his fathers position.
The existence of emails about getting Buckley Carlson into Georgetown has been known for some time, thanks to a laptop once owned by Hunter Biden that was obtained by Donald Trumps lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and pushed to media in 2020.
On Thursday the Washington Post revealed new emails and said analysis by security experts confirmed their authenticity.
The emails, the Post said, reveal the extent to which Carlson was willing to turn on a former associate as he thrives in a hyper-partisan media world in which conservatives have made Biden a prime target for attack.
They also show how Carlson once sought to benefit from the elite political circles in Washington that he now regularly rails against as the ruling class.
Carlson told the Post that in 2014, when Joe Biden was vice-president, Hunter Biden was my neighbor. Our wives were friends. I knew him well.
I talked to him many times about addiction, something I know a lot about. And Ive said that. I think that Hunter Biden is an addict and thats why his life is falling apart, and I feel bad for him. Ive said that many times, and I mean it.
He also said he would not comment on the emails, as they were described by our [intelligence] community as Russian disinformation. So why would I? And I read that in the Washington Post.

I wonder if Hunter can consider civil charges against Hunter. Defamation being a possibility. This looks very personal and malicious.
