James Clapper, who served as director of national intelligence under President Obama, recently stood by his decision to sign on to a 2020 letter with 50 other former officials warning Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
Asked by Fox News if he regretted signing the letter, which claimed the laptop had “all the earmarks” of Russian interference, Clapper said, “No.” This despite the laptop, which was abandoned at a Delaware repair shop, now being used by prosecutors in Hunter’s federal gun trial.
