Republicans Renew Demands For Interviews With Ex-Intel Officials Who Discredited Hunter Biden Laptop As ‘Disinformation’<\/span><\/p>\n

Pressure is ratcheting up<\/strong> on signers of a controversial October 2020 statement alleging that the Hunter Biden laptop bore \u201call the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation operation\u201d to agree to on-the-record transcribed interviews with investigators <\/strong>for the House Judiciary Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Committee on the Judiciary and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence are conducting oversight of federal law-enforcement and intelligence matters within our respective jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe judiciary committee made a prior request to you for documents and information about the public statement<\/a> you signed in October 2020 that falsely implied the New York Post\u2019s reporting about Hunter Biden was the product of Russian disinformation,\u201d Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said in Feb. 13 letters obtained by The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis request, to include a request for a transcribed interview before the committees, remains outstanding. These documents and your testimony are necessary to further our oversight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs we begin the 118th Congress, we write again to reiterate our outstanding request and ask that you immediately comply in full,\u201d Jordan and Turner told the recipients.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have been on notice about our oversight request\u2014and aware the request is outstanding\u2014for months. <\/strong>For your convenience, we have attached the letter from the Judiciary Committee dated April 6, 2022. To date, you have not complied with this request. Accordingly, we reiterate our requests and ask that you comply promptly,\u201d Jordan and Turner wrote.<\/p>\n

The 10 recipients of the request from Jordan and Turner include <\/strong>former Secretary of Defense and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Leon Panetta, Marc Polymeropoulos, a former CIA Senior Operations Officer, former CIA Chief of Staff Larry Pfeiffer, former CIA Senior Intelligence Officer Kristin Wood, former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Deputy Director Douglas Wise, former CIA Chief of Staff Rodney Snyder, former CIA Senior Intelligence Officer Patty Brandmaier, former CIA Senior Intelligence Officer James Bruce, former CIA Senior Operations Officer Paul Kolbe, former National Intelligence Officer Roger George.<\/p>\n

The Epoch Times is seeking comment from each of the 10 recipients.<\/p>\n

The 10 letters made public on Feb. 13 follow similar missives to another dozen of the 51 signers of the Oct. 19, 2020, statement that was widely publicized by the mainstream media and cited as justification by social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook for censoring news reports about the laptop that was left at a Delaware computer repair shop by President Joe Biden\u2019s son, Hunter.<\/p>\n
