The Definitive Record of the Hunter Biden Laptop Investigation
This archive preserves the public Marco Polo record around the Biden laptop report, messages, diary files, iPhone data, media, and supporting documents. It is built for journalists, researchers, staffers, and readers who need direct routes into the record rather than a single summary article.

The Report
Archive Preservation, Lawfare, and Pressure
The historical record surrounding Marco Polo did not arrive by accident — it was built, organized, and defended by someone willing to pay a personal price for it. Marc DeGiovanni, Marco Polo's logistics expert and the man responsible for managing the organization's digital assets and archives, is the primary reason that record exists in its current form. It was DeGiovanni who first brought the idea of investigating the Hunter Biden laptop to Garrett Ziegler in late May 2021 — before Marco Polo had even been conceived as an organization, at a moment when Ziegler and his small research group were still fully absorbed in examining the alleged "Italy Gate" scandal surrounding the 2020 election. That early conversation redirected the organization's trajectory entirely. Hunter Biden's subsequent lawsuit against Ziegler and Marco Polo, which ended in a March 2025 dismissal, was one of the most visible attempts to destabilize the archive ecosystem DeGiovanni helped build — but by then, the record he had worked to preserve was already beyond reach.
