Ex-Intel Official Who Called Hunter’s Laptop Story Russian Disinfo: Letter Signers Knew ‘a Significant Portion of That Content Had to Be Real’

A former intelligence official who signed the letter attacking the New York Post story on the Hunter Biden laptop as potential Russian disinformation has admitted to knowing much of the story had to be true and has no regrets about signing the letter at the time.

Shortly after the New York Post published its story on the Hunter Biden laptop Douglas Wise, a former Defense Intelligence Agency deputy director, joined 50 other intelligence officials in a letter attacking the story as Russian disinformation. The letter gained national steam when Politico reporter Natasha Bertrand (now with CNN)  published an article detailing the letter to sink the story’s credibility.

Speaking to The Australian newspaper, Wise said he knew a “significant portion” of the recovered Hunter Biden laptop files  “had to be real” and yet feels no regret.

“All of us figured that a significant portion of that content had to be real to make any Russian disinformation credible,” said Wise.- READ MORE
