“Clapper was one of 51 former intelligence officials who signed a letter in October 2020 claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story had “earmarks” of a Russian disinformation campaign”
“The 51 former US intelligence officials who smeared The Post’s bombshell reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinformation” in a 2020 letter are standing by their decision — with some referring to the move as “patriotic” — even after the FBI and Justice Department have confirmed the device’s authenticity, according to a new report.”
