The NY Post has put out an article that says that former CIA acting director "helped Biden" during Biden's Presidential campaign by organizing 50 colleagues to sign a letter in October 2020 falsely claiming that damning emails from Hunter Biden's laptop (published by The NY Post) were "Russian disinformation".

For those not aware, emails found on Biden's son's portable laptop computer (which he absentmindedly left behind at a motel, allegedly after a cocaine binge) contained some communications that didn't make Biden look good. Probably nothing that is solid enough evidence to be able prosecute anyone in court, but it makes it look like corruption was going on (presumably connected to the Ukrainian Burisma scandal, when Biden was Vice President under Obama).
Again, for those who are not aware (or do not remember) all the mainstream media channels were incessantly yacking on and on at the time about how these accusations were just "misinformation". The media propagated a theory or narrative that the Russian government had a role in propagating misinformation in the U.S. during the election.
Since that time, even CNN has had to rather quietly admit that the Hunter laptop story was legitimate.

To be fair, this isn't entirely the "biggest scandal" (referring the ex-CIA director organizing signatures for a latter making a false opinion statement). This man was no longer officially working for the CIA by that time. But this was a high level person and his words carried weight. As CIA analyst he had served the presidential daily briefer to George W. Bush.
Michael Morell has now told the House Judiciary Committee that Antony Blinken, the current Secretary of State, was the senior Biden campaign official who contacted him three days after The NY Post published an email from the laptop which suggested Hunter had introduced his Ukrainian business partner to his father, then-Vice President Biden.
Morell said that before Blinken's call, he had no intention of writing any statement exonerating Biden.
Of coarse he's only admitting this now because Republicans have taken over the House, launching investigative hearings, and he was subpoenaed and forced to talk.
