There may be some duplicative context between these 2 paragraphs...
*In November 2022, CBS News published a forensic analysis it commissioned, which examined a "clean" copy of the data obtained directly from the repair shop operator. That analysis concluded that the "clean" data, ''including over 120,000 emails'', originated with Hunter Biden and had not been altered, ''contrasting that to other copies circulated by Republican operatives, which "could have been tampered with"''. The Washington Post reported that experts at their request had authenticated a number of emails, including one that was the subject of the New York Post reporting. The drive analyzed for The Washington Post lacked a clear chain of custody, and was considered "a mess" and "a disaster" from a forensic standpoint by the two analysts. It contains emails marked to and from Hunter Biden and other digital files relating to him.
*Two forensic analysts who independently examined the data for The Washington Post authenticated 1,828 and 22,000 emails, respectively, of the ''almost 129,000 emails on the hard drive in 2022''. Neither analyst could verify the vast majority of the data, nor could they find clear evidence of tampering but they note "key pieces of evidence useful in discovering tampering were not available." In some cases, The Post matched content to other sources "that the experts were not able to assess". ''The unverifiable emails included some prominently reported previously by other news outlets''. The analysis found that people other than Hunter Biden had created six new folders on the drive over a week after the original report by the New York Post and months after the laptop had been taken into FBI custody. It also ''found that data had been accessed and copied off the drive by people other than Hunter Biden'' over the course of nearly three years
Would it be possible to try and merge these? Cheers. [[User:Darknipples|DN]] ([[User talk:Darknipples|talk]]) 05:20, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
