President-elect Donald Trump, on Day 1, plans to suspend the security clearances of the 51 intelligence officials who claimed reporting tied to Hunter Biden’s laptop had “the classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election, according to a report.
Trump will take the action against the so-called “Spies Who Lie” as part of a flurry of executive orders he’s expected to sign on his first day back in the Oval Office, Fox News reported, citing a senior administration official who is familiar with the matter.
Federal authorities eventually confirmed that the laptop belonging to President Biden’s son was authentic, though the national security experts have said they stand by the 2020 letter they penned over their concerns of disinformation.
The Post’s reporting on the laptop leading up to the 2020 election included allegations of influence-peddling, drug use and other lurid activities.
This is a developing story. More to come.
