Ex-intel officials silent over letter claiming Russian involvement in Hunter Biden laptop saga

The 50 former intelligence officials who signed a letter suggesting Russia was involved with the Hunter Biden laptop saga are now largely silent about why they weighed in on the story weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

Despite offering no proof, Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, along with many in the media, dismissed the October laptop story as being part of a Russian disinformation operation. Concerns about Hunter Biden gained broader attention in late 2020 after multiple outlets reported that he is being federally investigated in connection with his taxes and potentially related to his overseas business with China and other countries.
