FBI head of counterintelligence refused to say whether 50 former intelligence officials signing the letter baselessly alleging Russian involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop stories in Oct '20 harms the trust the public has for the intelligence community.
Alan Kohler, the assistant director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division since early 2020, declined to answer the question during a “Counterintelligence Today” event held at the Michael V. Hayden Center on Tuesday. Mirriam-Grace MacIntyre, executive director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, also didn't answer.
The Washington Examiner pointed to the extensive comments Kohler and MacIntyre had just made about the importance of outreach to U.S. businesses, political leaders, and the public when warning the U.S.
Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign quickly dismissed the laptop story as a Russian disinformation operation. After the New York Post published emails belonging to his son, Biden called the story “garbage” and part of a “Russian plan” during an October 2020 debate with then-President Donald Trump.
