House leaders put more than two dozen former intelligence officials on notice on Wednesday, demanding answers for their dismissal of Hunter Biden’s discarded laptop computer as Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election.
The chairmen of the House Judiciary and Intelligence panels, Reps. Jim Jordan and Michael R. Turner, respectively, doubled down on previous demands that the ex-officials hand over documents and testimony related to the public statement signed by 51 intelligence professionals in October 2020.
“You have been on notice about our oversight requests—and aware the requests are outstanding—for months,” the Ohio lawmakers stated. “Accordingly, we reiterate our requests and ask that you comply promptly.”Last month the lawmakers sent similar letters to a dozen former higher-ranking intelligence officials including former CIA Director John O. Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr.
The emails refuted Mr. Biden’s claims that he never spoke with his son about overseas business deals. “Your public statement served as a basis for Democrat operatives to try to delegitimize the scandalous allegations about Hunter Biden and the Biden family,” Mr. Jordan wrote in a previous letter requesting answers from Mr. Clapper. “The Biden campaign repeatedly cited your statement to dismiss the allegations against Hunter Biden.”
