Mike Waltz Teases ‘Consequences’ For Former Intel Officials Who Signed Hunter Biden Disinformation Letter

SUMMARY

Incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has called for accountability for the 51 former intelligence officials who signed a letter falsely suggesting that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. Waltz criticized the signatories for undermining trust in national security institutions and described their actions as "tremendously damaging." The letter, allegedly orchestrated by the Biden campaign, was used to discredit reporting on the laptop’s contents before the 2020 election. While Waltz did not confirm specific actions, such as revoking security clearances, he emphasized the need for consequences, stating the officials violated public trust by leveraging their credentials to suppress legitimate inquiries. Waltz also underscored the incoming Trump administration’s commitment to its "America First" agenda, stating new hires must align with the president’s policies.
