CNN debate moderator Dana Bash’s ex-husband Jeremy was an operative for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) when he signed the infamous 2020 letter to Politico discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian election interference.
On Tuesday, the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government published a blockbuster report on the CIA’s role coordinating the deep state smear campaign aimed at electing President Joe Biden four years ago. According to the Judiciary Committee, which had been investigating the CIA’s involvement with the letter to Politico since December, several of the 51 signatories were contractors for the premier intelligence agency when they sought to dismiss Hunter Biden’s discovered hard drive as Kremlin disinformation. Michael Morell, the former acting director of the agency, and former Inspector General David Buckley were both on CIA payroll at the time the letter was published.
Jeremy Bash was also highlighted in the report as an “independent contractor” for the CIA, and he apparently held a “green badge” clearance from April 2, 2019, to April 1, 2022. Jeremy renewed his clearance on Aug. 22, 2022, which will expire in August this year. The intelligence official was the CNN anchor’s first husband, and they married in 1998. The pair divorced in 2007, and Dana married CNN anchor John King a year later. Dana and King remained together until 2012.
According to the New York Post, which reported exclusively on the House findings before they were made public, “Morell flatly denied he was a contractor when contacted.”
