James Clapper waited more than two years to criticize a Politico story that he says twisted his words about Hunter Biden's laptop, and outraged critics want answers.
Former DNI director James Clapper, former chief of staff for secretary of defense Jeremy Bash claimed Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation.. But at the time, the October 19, 2020, story by Natasha Bertrand had its intended bombshell effect with this headline:"Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say."
JAMES CLAPPER ACCUSES POLITICO OF ‘DELIBERATELY’ DISTORTING LETTER ON BIDEN LAPTOP BEING RUSSIAN DISINFO But despite Politico and Biden's framing, the signers of the letter didn't come out of the woodworks at the time to dispute their characterization of their words. Nor did they seem to care that, including future Biden officials like Jen Psaki, Susan Rice, Kate Bedingfield, Andrew Bates and others, shared the story on Twitter or touted its contents in interviews.
Clapper admitted again to Kessler that he and his fellow signers had"no evidence" to support their suspicions.
