    EXCERPT:

    HOFFMAN: “I remember I got the letter October 18 2020. And at first glance, it seemed natural to lay the blame at the Kremlin's doorstep. Remember, Vladimir Putin is in the Kremlin and he's well known for cloak and dagger espionage operations. But at the same time, there was no evidence and the letter noted there was no evidence. And I just felt like we needed to do the forensics. It was a very convoluted story. Folks will recall that there was a laptop found at a store in Delaware. And I remembered at CIA when we didn't have all the answers, we would task our sources to get more information so we could be more definitive. And I felt like in this case, the FBI could do those forensics. And it was not up to us to speculate. So I didn't sign the letter. I typically don't put my name to other people's words. My wife was in her -- late in her third year of fighting cancer, and I didn't have the time to go back to Michael Morell and ask him what the point was about the letter, so I just left it and didn't sign the letter and didn't respond, you know.”
