<p>President Donald Trump on Monday is expected to issue an executive order to suspend the security clearances for the 51 national security officials who claimed that the report about Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation.</p>
<p>Trump will sign the executive order as part of his Day One agenda, which is expected to include signing more than 200 executive actions, including ones that eliminated DEI from federal offices and defined biological sex, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-take-more-than-200-executive-actions-day-one.amp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>In mid-October 2020, just ahead of a debate between Trump and President Joe Biden, 51 intelligence officials, including former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, signed a letter claiming the recently discovered laptop belonging to Hunter Biden had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” The letter went public on October 19, 2020, shortly after the New York Post published <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a bombshell report</a> detailing the laptop showed evidence that the elder Biden was involved in his son’s shady business dealings.</p>
<p>At the debate, Trump mentioned the laptop and, because of the letter, Biden was able to say that “50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plan.” Biden also added that “Four, five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage.”</p>
<p>But the laptop has been deemed authentic, including during Hunter’s gun trial. The 51 former intelligence officers have refused to apologize or admit they were wrong.</p>

<p>Further, in 2023, emails revealed that former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell asked members of the intelligence community to add their names to the letter for the express purpose of giving Biden a talking point at the debate, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-cia-chief-sought-debate-talking-point-with-hunter-biden-laptop-letter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> at the time. Brennan was one of the people Morell reached out to, and responded by saying: “Ok, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.”</p>
<p>Morell also told congressional Republicans that a call from Biden’s then-campaign adviser, Antony Blinken, had prompted the letter. Morell also testified that the chair of the 2020 Biden campaign, Steve Richetti, called him after the debate to thank him for getting the letter out.</p>
<p>Morell told congressional Republicans that the letter had two intents. “One intent was to share our concern with the American people that the Russians were playing on this issue; and, two, it was [to] help Vice President Biden,” he explained, <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2023-04-20-jdj-mt-to-blinken-re-public-statement-on-hunter-biden-emails_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a transcript</a> of his testimony.</p>
<p>Democrats accused Republicans of cherry-picking Morell’s testimony, claiming “no part of that interview demonstrates that Tony Blinken or any other Biden campaign official asked Mike Morell to write a letter about Hunter Biden’s laptop.”</p>
