The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-investigation-laptop-letter-organizer-thought-blinken-wanted-russia-claims-made-public\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden investigation: Laptop letter organizer thought Blinken wanted Russia claims made public\">letter contributed<\/a> to the baseless narrative that the stories on the contents of Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop were nothing but a product of Russian disinformation. This narrative was happily seized upon by Biden&#8217;s 2020 campaign and spread by some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-laptop-letter-signers-will-fully-cooperate-with-gop-investigation-lawyer-says\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden laptop letter signers will \u2018fully cooperate\u2019 with GOP investigation, lawyer says\">laptop letter signers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Transcribed Interviews<\/h3>\n<p>The news of the transcribed interviews with Brennan and Clapper comes on the heels of testimony by Mike Morell, the former Obama CIA acting director who said now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken &#8220;triggered&#8221; him to write the letter. Brennan will appear before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on May 11, and Clapper will appear on May 17.<\/p>\n<h3>Podcast Appearances<\/h3>\n<p>A review by the Washington Examiner found that at least 17 of the 51 laptop letter signers appeared on Morell&#8217;s podcast over the years, with six of them joining the podcast in 2020, including two in the days leading up to the letter. Brennan appeared on Morell&#8217;s Intelligence Matters podcast a week before the New York Post published stories on President Joe Biden&#8217;s son&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gravy-train-keeps-rolling-for-second-stepdaughter-ella-emhoff\/\" title=\"Gravy Train Keeps Rolling for Second Stepdaughter Ella Emhoff\">shady business dealings<\/a> in China and Ukraine. This was also less than two weeks before dozens of ex-intelligence officials, led by Morell and organized in part by longtime Brennan aide Nick Shapiro, signed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/two-top-signers-of-infamous-hunter-biden-letter-to-testify-before-congress\/\" title=\"Top signers of Hunter Biden letter to testify in Congress.\">letter making evidence-free claims<\/a> of Russian involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop saga.<\/p>\n<h3>Authenticity of the Laptop<\/h3>\n<p>Konstantinos &#8220;Gus&#8221; Dimitrelos, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-hunter-biden-confirmed-owner-of-laptop\/\" title=\"Report: Hunter Biden confirmed owner of laptop\">cyber forensics expert<\/a> and former Secret Service agent, conducted an examination of the laptop for the Washington Examiner last year, concluding that &#8220;my analysis revealed there is a 100% certainty that Robert Hunter Biden was the only person responsible for the activity on this hard drive and all of its stored data&#8221; and that &#8220;the hard drive is authentic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The investigation into the Hunter Biden laptop saga continues, with Brennan and Clapper set to testify before Congress. The authenticity of the laptop has been confirmed, and the baseless narrative of Russian disinformation has been debunked. It remains to be seen what new information will come to light during the upcoming testimonies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden investigation: Weaponization committee targets John Brennan and James Clapper for laptop testimony Two of the most prominent signers of the infamous Hunter Biden laptop letter, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, are slated to testify before Congress this month as House Republicans investigate the effort to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1924525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[3620,4402,3822,4509,21813,5308],"class_list":["post-1924524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report","tag-biden","tag-congress","tag-hunter","tag-letter","tag-signers","tag-testify"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1924524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1924525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1924524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1924524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1924524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
