  • Online users shared this untrue rumor about the pair in the days before U.S. President Donald Trump's January 2025 inauguration.

The article from Yahoo News discusses a fact check on a story involving Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden. It addresses claims made by a former FBI agent, Timothy Thibault, who was accused by Republican lawmakers of improperly handling an investigation into Hunter Biden. The fact check reveals that while Thibault was involved in the FBI's Washington field office, there is no concrete evidence that he personally mishandled or influenced the investigation into Hunter Biden. The article clarifies that Thibault's actions were part of broader FBI procedures, and any decisions regarding the investigation would have involved multiple agents and supervisors. Furthermore, the claims against Thibault were largely based on his political donations and social media activity, which critics argue do not necessarily indicate misconduct in his professional duties. The piece concludes by emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between partisan accusations and verified facts in such politically charged investigations.
