Ex-CIA official who signed letter warning Hunter Biden laptop story was disinfo proud Trump lost

An ex-CIA official who signed a letter along with dozens of other former U.S. intelligence officials in the backstretch of the 2020 presidential election warning that stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop being disinformation now says his efforts led to then-President Trump losing reelection.

"I take special pride in personally swinging the election away from Trump," John Sipher, a former CIA deputy chief of Russian Operations, recently posted on Twitter. "I lost the election for Trump? Well then I [feel] pretty good about my influence."

The October 2020 open letter – released as voters were making final decisions about whether to reelect Trump or elect Democrat Joe Biden – was signed by 51 ex-intelligence officials including former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and former CIA Director John Brennan.

Hunter Biden is the son of President Biden. The discovery of the laptop at a Delaware repair shop and its content, reported first by the New York Post, was of major interest in 2020, considering the questions surrounding Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings while his father was vice president.
