House Republicans moved to effectively strip security clearances from former intelligence officials that raised questions about Hunter Biden's emails.
The letter did not propose any evidence of Russian action or even explicitly suggest that Moscow was behind the story.
Years later, The Washington Post commissioned two security experts who verified thousands of emails from the hard drive that contained copies of Biden's emails, photos, and other messages that were left at a Delaware computer repair store.
"Is it the role of this committee to ban individuals from having security clearances for signing their name to a letter – expressing their opinions as ordained in the Constitution?"
"If we want to take this committee down a road of punitive action, I have plenty of members of the Trump administration who I think should never hold security clearances again based on their actions surrounding January 6th," she said.
