On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee released a report suggesting that one of Joe Biden’s deputy press secretaries, Andrew Bates, was in contact with former CIA senior adviser Nick Shapiro, who played a key part in the coverup of Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal.

According to the report, Shapiro was the mastermind behind the now-discredited letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials that attempted to paint the laptop as a Russian operation in October 2020.

Shapiro drafted a media pitch for the letter and shopped it around to various media outlets, including the Associated Press, The Washington Post, and Politico. He even forwarded the letter to the Biden campaign, adding “This is what I gave them.” The Biden campaign then tweeted, “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say,” sharing Politico’s story.

“Giving this to you exclusively first if you guys want to run with it,” Shapiro wrote in the email on Oct. 19, 2020.
