Senate GOP demands answers on security clearances of signatories of Hunter Biden laptop letter
Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: Senate Republicans are demanding the Office of the Director of National Intelligence provide information on the status of security clearances for the 51 ex-officials who signed onto a letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
The Republicans are demanding Haines provide information on how many of the 51 signatories "maintained an active security clearance" at the time of the letter— between Oct. 1 and Oct. 31, 2020—and how many currently possess a security clearance.

The top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., along with Sens. James Risch, Tom Cotton, John Cornyn, Jerry Moran, and James Lankford, penned a letter to Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines Wednesday, obtained by Fox News Digital, expressing their concerns about the letter and the potential "politicization of intelligence."
