A lawyer representing former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani wrote a Delaware computer repair shop owner in August 2020 touting his ability to get information about Hunter Biden's infamous laptop to 'the right places' – and to confirm he lawfully owned the astonishing material he was offering.

'Mr. Giuliani and I have been working on that subject for some time now and we are in position to get the information to the right places, provided the information is accurate and was obtained lawfully,' according to the email.
