Ian Sams, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations, tweeted Friday:
Think about this: instead of working with President Biden on solutions to real problems Americans care about — like lowering costs or tackling gun violence — House Republicans keep weaponizing their power to re-litigate the 2020 election in a wacky strategy to get on Fox News.
Meanwhile, the State Department refused to address the issue at a press conference on Friday.
On Thursday, Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Intelligence Committee chairman Michael Turner (R-OH) revealed in a letter that former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell had testified to Congress that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had contacted Morell regarding the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story, which “set in motion the events that led to the issuance of a public statement” by more than 50 former intelligence officials who discredited the story as Russian disinformation.
If true, that means the Biden campaign orchestrated the effort to censor a damaging story about Biden — rather than how the statement was presented at the time: as concerned national security and intelligence experts warning the public about Russian disinformation.
