Google AI repetition of Politico article
[edit]"Yes, Hunter Biden's book Beautiful Things was used by David Weiss to investigate Hunter Biden. Weiss is the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, and he was overseeing a criminal probe into Hunter Biden's finances. In Beautiful Things, Hunter Biden recounts his long battle with drug addiction, including his use of crack cocaine. He also admits to purchasing a handgun in 2018, while he was still using drugs. This admission is of key interest to prosecutors, as it could be used to charge Hunter Biden with a felony." 2601:C4:C300:2890:FCE6:E121:EDD5:7A30 (talk) 21:51, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- I find may articles which allude to the book as being self-revealing but none actually state that the book was used as evidence by David Weiss to investigate Hunter Biden. Would you share the source that states your conclusion? Οἶδα (talk) 09:30, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- I removed the section as per WP:LP. A source was requested two months ago, and none has been provided. The cited Politico article doesn't support the statement; it talks about the book and the probe but doesn't link the two. The article on the Weiss special counsel investigation also doesn't mention the book. Justifying the anonymous addition of unsourced material about a living person with "Google AI repetition of Politico article" is absurd. (I removed the entire section because without the unsupported statement it would have consisted of a single short sentence with no connection to the subject of the article.)
