The confirmation hearing for Trump’s pick for CIA Director John Ratcliffe was underway on Wednesday.
Former DNI Ratcliffe ripped newly-elected Democrat Senator Adam Schiff (CA) as he faced questions from senators.
Ratcliffe called out Schiff for lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
“In 2020, when a chairman of an intelligence committee misrepresented that a laptop owned by then candidate Biden’s son was somehow a Russian intelligence operation… I stood in the breach. I stood alone and told the American people the truth about that,” Ratcliffe said to Schiff, who previously served as the House Intel Chairman.

In 2020 news broke on NBC News and was widely distributed on the liberal mainstream media that the FBI was investigating the damning Hunter Biden emails — not for the myriad of crimes they exposed but to see if they were a “Russian disinformation operation.”
Shortly after the news broke, serial liar Adam Schiff went on the Sunday news shows to lie some more. Schiff also claimed the Hunter Biden emails were a Russian disinformation scandal.

Then-DNI John Ratcliffe roasted Schiff and the fake news media and told Maria Bartiromo, “Hunter Biden’s laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign.”
