House Republicans are seeking information and documents from the 51 former intelligence officials who signed an October 2020 letter baselessly claiming Russian involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop stories amid greater scrutiny of their decision to inject themselves into the final stretch of the 2020 election.

Their request comes as the laptop controversy has burst back into public view a year and a half after the New York Post published emails belonging to now-President Joe Biden’s son. The New York Times and the Washington Post joined a number of right-leaning outlets that confirmed the authenticity of emails on the laptop. The former intelligence officials are largely remaining silent, though some have continued to defend their signatures, while a few recently returned to government service.
