Speaking on Fox News’s “One Nation” on Saturday, the California Republican said the GOP would hold those individuals accountable for allegedly lying to the American people. Following the publication of the Post’s story, 51 former intelligence community officials signed a statement saying that the article had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” The story was later confirmed and the laptop verified as authentic.

“Those 51 intel agents that signed a letter that said the Hunter Biden information was all wrong, was Russia collusion, many of them have a security clearance,” McCarthy said. “We’re going to bring them before a committee. I’m going to have them have a hearing​,​ bring them and subpoena them before a committee. Why did they sign it? Why did they lie to the American public?”
