Document signed by ‘intel officials’ falsely claimed laptop was Russia disinformation.
The CIA is being sued over helping the Joe Biden campaign in 2020 unleash the so-called “Dirty 51” letter through which a list of former intelligence officials sought to interfere in the election by describing the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as Russian disinformation.
The fact is that authorities knew at the time the letter was released that the information from the laptop was accurate.
The letter was released just as the 2020 presidential vote was approaching, and in it dozens of former government officials suggested it was not true, claiming it bore the earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.
At the same time, the FBI was urging social and legacy media outlets to censor reporting on the laptop, even though the bureau knew for a fact that the laptop was Hunter Biden’s and the information was accurate.
Now government watchdog group Judicial Watch has sued the CIA under the Freedom of Information Act.
