The House panel investigating the "weaponization" of the federal government is deposing ex-Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell on Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the matter, as part of its investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the chairman of the committee, has sought transcribed interviews from a dozen intelligence officials who penned an October 2020 letter warning that emails from the laptop, reported on by the New York Post in the days leading up to the 2020 election, had all the "classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." Morell is one of those signatories.

House Republicans, who believe Hunter Biden engaged in foreign "influence-peddling" during his father's time as vice president, allege that the letter was part of a "concerted effort" to discredit the report.

News organizations have since corroborated the authenticity of the laptop, which was apparently abandoned at a repair shop in Delaware in 2019. Lawyers for Hunter Biden, who is under criminal investigation by the Justice Department for his tax affairs, have contacted federal and state law enforcement agencies requesting investigations into those responsible for disseminating the contents of the laptop.

Attorney Abbe Lowell said in February that the letters "do not confirm" the laptop is Hunter Biden's.

Jordan first requested a transcribed interview with Morell in April, when he was ranking member of the Judiciary Committee. He re-upped that request in February after assuming the chairmanship.

"At best, the public statement was a reckless attempt by you and your co-signatories to erroneously opine about purported election interference," Jordan said in his April letter. "At worse — and more likely — the public statement was a deliberate and coordinated effort to mislead the American people about information relevant to the 2020 presidential election by invoking your national security experience to falsely suggest that the allegations about Hunter Biden were not based in fact."

In addition to the transcribed interview, Jordan has requested "documents and communications" related to the October letter from intelligence officials.

House Republicans have launched a bevy of investigations since reclaiming the House majority in January, including whether social media companies colluded with the DOJ to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Executives from Big Tech companies have faced GOP scrutiny for censoring the article on their platforms after the FBI contacted them warning that the laptop's contents could be part of a "hack-and-leak operation" by Russia.
