I don't believe WaPo ever claimed that. They wrote this in October 2020: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/10/24/hunter-bid...

>Insisting that the Hunter Biden laptop is fake is a trap. So is insisting that it’s real.

That's not saying it's Russian disinformation. Just that it's unconfirmed to be either disinformation or real. (Which, at the time, was the correct assessment.)

That’s fun that after their initial reporting [0] they left some wiggle room out while saying that it couldn’t possibly be verified except for all the ways it was verified long after the election.

The initial reporting days earlier didn’t use the exact phrase “Russian Disinformation” it did take a least half a dozen times say Russian Intelligence.
