Channel 5 Admits Giving Hunter Biden's Team Its Subscriber Emails

Channel 5 Admits Giving Hunter Biden's Team Its Subscriber Emails

A statement from Channel 5 itself, posted to X on September 7 and 8, 2026, confirmed the handover.

  • The company handed over a CSV file of subscriber email addresses to Hunter Biden's staff.
  • It admits pulling the list before any blast reached public subscribers.
  • Staff at Channel 5 offered no reason for sharing the subscriber data.

Why it matters: Handing over a subscriber list to a politician's staff without permission turns data into a commodity.
