According to shocking new testimony from former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell to the House Judiciary Committee, Secretary of State Antony Blinken was instrumental in discrediting the New York Posts Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 election.
Blinken was Biden’s top foreign policy adviser at the time.
From Breitbart News:
Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Michael Turner (R-OH), chairmen of the Judiciary and Intel Committees, respectively, made the revelation on Thursday in a letter to Blinken, obtained by Breitbart News, that included portions of Morell’s testimony.
The chairmen wrote that Morell testified in the closed-door interview with the committee that Blinken’s call to Morell was “couched as simply gathering Morrell’s reaction to the Post story” but that “it set in motion the events that led to the issuance of the public statement.”
Blinken, at the time, served as then-candidate Joe Biden’s “closest” foreign policy adviser, according to the New York Times.
The campaign paid Blinken more than $100,000 for his work in 2020, Federal Election Campaign records show.
The chairmen’s letter to Blinken included the below testimony from Morell to the committee:
Q: But, prior to [Secretary Blinken’s] call, you – you did not have any intent to write this statement?
A: I did not.
Q: Okay. So his call triggered –
A: It did, yes.
Q: – that intent in you?
A: Yes. Absolutely.
Many Americans say if they had known the truth about the laptop it may have influenced their vote.
