President Donald Trump revoked the security clearances of more than 50 national security officials who said Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic markings of a Russian information operation.”
In total 51 former national security officials released a public letter in 2020 claiming that while the laptop had “no evidence of Russian involvement,” it appeared to be a “Russian information operation.”
The letter comes after the New York Post reported it had emails showing Hunter Biden coordinated Joe Biden’s meeting with the top executive of Ukrainian energy company Burisma several months before he pressured Ukrainian officials to fire the prosecutor investigating the company.

The list includes former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper Jr., former Directors of the Central Intelligence Agency Michael Hayden, John Brennan, former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Fox News Digital previously reported that federal investigators from the Department of Justice were aware that Hunter Biden’s laptop had not been tampered with and contained “credible evidence.”
Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, previously proposed revoking security clearances for these officials.
