Former director of national intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. is set to testify in front of Congress behind closed doors amidst focus from House Republicans on a public letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials during the 2020 presidential campaign. Republicans have claimed that the letter was orchestrated by President Biden's allies to distract from damning evidence found on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, and that it was used to damage conservatives. The former intelligence officials behind the letter voiced concern that the material on Hunter Biden's computer could be part of a Russian campaign to influence the election, though concrete evidence has not yet been found to support such a claim. Republicans believe they have found evidence that the letter was created as part of a Biden campaign operation, and that a CIA employee may have been involved in soliciting signatures for it.

As part of the investigation into the letter, Republicans are also looking into the Hunter Biden story on multiple fronts, including the suppression of information by social media companies, the potential involvement of his father in his business dealings, and whether anyone in government interfered with any investigations into Hunter Biden, who is currently the subject of a federal investigation. An investigator overseeing the IRS's portion of the case has also come forward with allegations of political favoritism, causing further controversy over the issue. As officials consider whether to pursue charges in the case, a spokesman for Biden has reiterated his commitment to the independence of the Justice Department.

Democrats have criticized Republicans for what they see as a wasteful investigation into private citizens who wanted Mr. Biden to win the election, and have pointed out that the former intelligence officials who wrote the letter did not have evidence of a Russian disinformation campaign and were merely stating an opinion. The controversy surrounding the letter and the Hunter Biden story is likely to continue for some time as officials weigh the evidence and determine what, if any, charges should be pursued.
