Jordan seeks testimony from top CIA, intel officials on Hunter’s laptop

The federal government’s House Subcommittee on Armaments will receive testimony from two top intelligence officials who were behind an attempt to label the Hunter Biden laptop as “disinformation” as investigations into President Biden’s son intensify.

Former CIA director James Brennan will give a transcribed interview on May 11 and former director of national intelligence James Clapper on May 17, a source familiar with the plans told DailyMail.com.

Both Brennan and Clapper signed a letter from 51 former intelligence officials claiming that Hunter’s laptop had “all the classic hallmarks of a Russian intelligence operation.”

The subcommittee, led by chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio, has already interviewed Mike Morrell, a former deputy CIA director and acting CIA director. which went out just before the 2020 election.

Biden and his campaign at the time cited the letter as a reason to discredit the laptop.

Jordan and House Intel chairman Mike Turner sent a letter to Blinken last week telling him they were investigating the letter.

“As part of our oversight, we learned that you played a role in the formation of this statement while serving as Biden campaign adviser, and so we are asking for your assistance with our oversight.”

The chairpersons wrote that on the same day Blinken and Morell called, Blinken emailed the former CIA specter an article saying the FBI was investigating whether the laptop was part of a disinformation campaign.

Morell was also asked about his intent in garnering support for such a statement.

“One of the intents was to share with the American people our concern that the Russians are playing games on this issue,” Morell said. “And second, it was to help Vice President Biden.”

Jordan asked Morell, “Why did you want to help the vice president?” Morell replied, “Because I wanted him to win the election.”

Morell said he was assisted by Marc Polymeropoulos in gathering intelligence heavyweights to question the laptop. Other former CIA directors, including Brennan and Leon Panetta, eventually signed the document.

“While the statement’s signatories have an undisputed right to freedom of expression and free association — which we do not dispute — their reference to their national security credentials added weight to the story and suggested access to specialized information not available to other Americans.” wrote Turner and Jordan. .

Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop sparked great reports just before the 2020 presidential election

E-mails from Hunter’s abandoned laptop reveal that Blinken and his wife Evan Ryan have been in contact with the first son for a long time. On multiple occasions, Hunter has forwarded messages about setting up meetings with Blinken to fellow Burisma board members.

The pair even met at the State Department in 2015 when Hunter was on the Burisma board.

The laptop, which was left in a Delaware repair shop, was touted by Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s lawyer, as evidence of alleged corruption within the Biden family.

The laptop contained explicit photos of the troubled Hunter Biden naked, with prostitutes and using drugs, as well as a huge amount of emails and texts between the 53-year-old and his father and the rest of the Biden family, as well as business associates standing eager to meet his former VP and then-future president dad.
