'It was very flimsy': Back-to-back reports claim New York Post insiders skeptical of Hunter Biden laptop story

Journalists at the New York Post were reportedly skeptical of the outlet's "smoking-gun email" report published Wednesday — so much so that the reporter who wrote most of the story didn't want his name to appear in the byline.
The New York Post published a series of stories last week about the emails and other data recovered from a laptop and hard drive that allegedly belonged to Hunter Biden that critics say raise concerns about foreign business dealings that present possible corruption and national security issues for him and his father, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
The "smoking-gun email" report makes the case that the elder Biden met with an executive at the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which employed Hunter Biden, while he was vice president and suggested he directed U.S. foreign policy to protect his son. The Biden campaign released a statement that said the former vice president's "official schedules from the time" showed no meeting with Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, as was described in the report, but otherwise did not deny the validity of the hardware's contents.
According to the New York Times, the story was largely written by Bruce Golding, who has worked for the New York Post since 2007. Two reporters who spoke to the New York Times said Golding was concerned about the article's credibility.
