Experts on disinformation are staying silent after news broke that the Biden campaign prompted a letter signed by 51 intelligence officers that cast doubt on the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell testified to the House Judiciary Committee that the letter, which likened the laptop story to a “Russian information operation,” was “triggered” by conversations with Biden campaign Senior Advisor and now-Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Several groups and individuals dedicated to studying and exposing “disinformation” did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s repeated request for comment about whether the campaign partook in misinformation practices and whether or not people should be skeptical of previous attempts to suppress the story.
