A former high-ranking intelligence officer responsible for monitoring threats in the 2020 election claims that there was no evidence at the time to suggest that Hunter Biden's laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign, despite arguments made by supporters of then-candidate Joe Biden. Prior to the election, a public letter was penned by 51 former national security officials asserting that the information on the laptop exhibited all the hallmarks of a Russian information operation. Signatories included notable figures such as former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former CIA Director and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.

However, Chris Porter, the former National Intelligence Officer for Cyber, maintains that the assertions made by Biden supporters did not match the actual intelligence of the time. Porter was troubled by the letter, given his role as the intelligence officer overseeing U.S. intelligence community analysis of foreign threats to the 2020 elections. He stated that the letter did not accurately represent the threat as understood by intelligence officials.

Porter added that while the situation was reminiscent of something Moscow might have attempted, the eventual unclassified report released to the public revealed that despite an extensive influence campaign, there was no evidence to suggest that the Hunter Biden laptop situation specifically was Russian disinformation. Porter, who has nearly a decade of experience as a CIA analyst and who has held positions as one of the most senior cyber intelligence analysts until 2022, expressed his disapproval of senior officials throwing their weight around and insinuating Russian involvement based on politically scandalous information.
