In the United States, a group of former national security officials endorsed Kamala Harris for president, drawing parallels to a controversial letter from 2020 regarding Hunter Biden's laptop. This recent endorsement, published by the National Security Leaders for America, claimed Harris is a capable leader who can protect American democracy. Critics argue that the letter echoes past political interference, similar to the 51 intelligence officials who discredited the New York Post's story about Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation. The endorsement has been met with skepticism, as some former officials believe it aims to distract from Harris's vulnerabilities and Trump's national security record. Notably, nine signatories of the new letter had also signed the previous letter regarding the laptop, raising concerns about the motivations behind these endorsements and the potential misuse of their positions to influence the election.
