Intelligence officials who signed a pre-election letter in 2020 alleging that Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” scandal had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” are standing by their claims, despite the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DOJ) confirming the device is authentic.

All 51 signatories have been contacted about the letter, but none have recanted. James Clapper, Barack Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, said “No” when asked if he regretted signing the letter, refusing to remove his name or accept he should have waited for more information before branding the laptop Russian disinformation.
Attorney Mark Zaid, representing several signatories, defended the letter, claiming that “even today its content is accurate.”
“It served as nothing more than a warning letter of what we have known for decades: certain foreign governments—including Russia—continue to try and actively interfere in our domestic affairs and our guard must remain vigilant. Every patriotic American should have signed that letter,” he insisted, despite the fact the laptop was not, in fact, a Russian hoax.
Zaid has ties to “many prominent ‘never Trump’ advocates” who claim they are considering fleeing the country if Donald Trump is reelected.

The laptop letter was laundered through Natasha Bertrand, a then-POLITICO correspondent used by the “intelligence community” to plant stories in the media since her mid-twenties. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was involved in “fast-tracking” the letter, initiated by Joe Biden staffer Antony Blinken, now Secretary of State.
