The CIA said Thursday it gave false information to Congress about the “Spies Who Lie” who suggested incriminating documents from Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation.
In the stunning twist that’s heightening congressional doubts about the impartiality and reliability of America’s premier spy agency, the CIA said in a letter that former agency acting director Michael Morell was not a contractor at the time he organized the October 2020 laptop statement.
That contradicted the agency’s previous testimony to Congress that he was under contract.
“With this after-the-fact revelation, it’s hard to believe anything the CIA says,” said Russell Dye, a spokesman for the House Judiciary Committee.
“The CIA confirmed this information multiple times for the committee, and only changed its story after Michael Morell complained.”
