Secretary Blinken silent on past efforts to discredit Hunter Biden laptop after feds enter it into evidence
Fox News
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has remained silent on the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop which he played a key role in discrediting as part of President Biden's 2020 campaign.
Morell testified that Blinken, as President Biden’s then-campaign senior adviser, "played a role in the inception" of the public statement signed by intelligence officials claiming Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

"In his transcribed interview, Morell testified that on or around October 17, 2020, you reached out to him to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop story," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, said in a letter to Blinken last year as the committee was looking into the origin of the letter from 51 former intel officials published in Politico that warned the laptop, first reported on by the New York Post, had "all the classic earmarks" of Russian disinformation.
