At least two of the 51 signatories of the infamous letter labeling reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop as a potential “Russian information operation” were CIA contractors when they signed the letter the House Weaponization Subcommittee revealed in a new report Tuesday.

The report also found CIA Director Gina Haspel and other senior CIA officials knew ahead of publication that the letter was coming. ...

"We knew that the rushed statement from the 51 former intelligence officials was a political maneuver between the Biden campaign and the intelligence community. Now with this interim report, we reveal how officials at the highest levels of the CIA were aware of the statement and CIA employees knew that several of the so-called former officials were on active contract with the CIA. The report underscores the risks posed by a weaponized federal government," said Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said in a statement.
