Opinion | Hunter laptop deniers try to rewrite history as House Republicans investigate WashTimesOpEd
Republicans now control the House of Representatives and have made it plain that they’ll examine the saga of the laptop, the contents of which connect Hunter’s father, now-President Biden, to his family’s lucrative business of selling access to him. Because of this new congressional scrutiny, some who conspired to falsely cast the laptop story as “Russian disinformation” are scrambling to alter the record.
The signers wrote that they all had “an understanding of the wide range of Russian overt and covert activities that undermine U.S. national security” and that “[i]f we are right, this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election.” But now, new House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, has reached out to a dozen of the signatories, asking to speak to them about the letter. So the narrative must be changed retroactively. Enter Glenn Kessler, billed as “the Fact Checker” for The Washington Post, who contacted those 12 signers.
You see, it was all Politico’s fault. Mr. Kessler even made the publication defend itself in a statement that read, in part, “The article fairly and accurately reported on — and summarized — the intelligence officials’ letter.”
