At least a dozen ex-intelligence officials who signed the letter linking Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop to Russia steered tens of thousands of dollars to Joe Biden's campaign and joint fundraising committee ahead of the 2020 presidential election, records show.

The October 2020 letter has come back under the spotlight after a handful of revelations about its origins, including that ex-Obama CIA head Mike Morell testified in April to congressional investigators that then-Biden campaign adviser and now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken"triggered" him to write it. Between May 2019 and November 2020, 12 laptop letter signers boosted Biden with campaign donations to the tune of almost $40,000, according to campaign finance disclosures.

Another laptop letter signer, ex-CIA analyst Peter Corsell, donated $12,800 combined to Biden's campaign and victory fund, according to campaign finance disclosures. Obama Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, a laptop letter signer who also led Obama's CIA and was the White House chief of staff for President Bill Clinton, gave $5,000 in June 2020 to Biden's campaign.

Biden cited the letter in an Oct. 22 debate against Trump three days after Politico published it, describing how"former national intelligence folks" said Hunter Biden's laptop was a"Russian plan" and"a bunch of garbage." The laptop's contents have since been authenticated and shown to not contain any tampering, according to analyses conducted by outlets such as the Washington Examiner, the New York Post, and CBS News.

"It was a lie," he said."They knew what they were saying, and they knew exactly how propaganda regime legacy media would run with it and how Biden would spin it."
