On Oct. 28, 2020, a message posted to 4chan’s /pol/ (Politically Incorrect) claimed that Hunter Biden had turned himself in to the FBI and flipped on his father, former vice president Joe Biden. In the following days, readers asked us in both mail and searches if that claim was true. The message on /pol/ read as follows: The message spread to the conspiracy theory website BeforeItsNews and from there was shared on social media: The message also said this about Oct. 30: Barr will be meeting with Biden on Friday and recommend he either withdraw from the race or face numerous criminal charges. We were unable to find any credible news organizations that reported this alleged development. Had something of this magnitude occurred in the final week before Election Day, it would have driven wall-to-wall coverage in the news media, yet mention of it appeared not have been published even by far right-wing bloggers. This story stemming from 4chan's /pol/ follows a Hunter Biden death hoax that that also originated on /pol/.
