Former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says he would not retract the letter he signed about first son Hunter Biden's laptop.

In 2020, Clapper along with 51 other officials signed a letter saying that Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell" was Russian disinformation.

When Clapper recently was asked if he would retract the letter he signed, he told Fox News in a one word answer, "no."

The infamous laptop story that was originally perceived by media outlets as "Russian disinformation" was resurrected during Hunter's gun trial.

Hunter Biden was charged in Delaware by Justice Department Special Counsel David Weiss with three felony crimes in connection to 2018 firearm purchase while he was using drugs.

FBI Agent Erika Jensen testified that the laptop was real, according to NBC News. She said that information on the laptop contained evidence about the gun purchase.
