The appointment of Jeremy Bash, a former CIA chief of staff throughout the Obama presidency, to the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, was declared Friday by the Biden administration.
Bash clinched the new role despite signing onto a letter along with 50 different former intelligence officials before the 2020 election that casted doubt on The Post’s expose of Hunter Biden’s laptop, declaring the computer’s contents “has the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
The letter was written in mid-October weeks before the election between Biden and ex-President Trump — and after The Post published its first story on Biden’s son. Over a year later, the New York Times and the Washington Post both reported the emails on the laptop were legitimate and verified that Hunter Biden was under federal investigation for tax fraud.

The Post’s scoop was further temporarily censored on social media platforms after it was published.
This month Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted to host Joe Rogan on his show that he regretted quelling the story after the FBI contacted the social media company regarding possible “Russian propaganda” tied to the 2020 presidential election.
