Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz issued a press release calling to revoke the security clearances of 51 officials who dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop.

Gaetz said in his press release:

On October 19, 2020, 51 former intelligence officials signed a letter titled, “Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails,” which claimed Hunter Biden’s emails were a part of a “Russian information operation.” Following the censorship of the New York Post’s exposé on the emails by Big Tech and media tycoons, the New York Times confirmed the legitimacy of the emails on March 17, 2022. As of March 22, 2022, 4 of the 51 signatories maintained their support for the erroneous letter.

Gaetz further stated the resolution should be the following: “The 51 signatories of the letter who publicly and falsely decried Hunter Biden’s laptop to be Russian disinformation should be barred from holding any level of security clearances indefinitely,” per report.

These are the 51 intelligence officials who signed the letter:
