Rubio, Senate Intel Republicans demand answers from intelligence community on Biden laptop letter
On Oct. 19, 2020, 51 former intelligence officials signed an open letter concluding a New York Post article relating to then-candidate Joe Biden’s son had “all the classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation. The letter was used by the press to ignore the story and by social media companies to censor content related to the story. Even the U.S. government used the letter to justify taking certain actions. The Post story has since proven to be accurate.
