A former CIA agent who signed the October 2020 open letter that dismissed The Post's bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop emails as Russian disinformation worked on policy enforcement at Twitter as recently as last year and did not disclose her role to Congress, new "Twitter Files" reporting shows.
Nada Bakos alerted her senior policy team - including now-former Twitter head of trust and safety Yoel Roth - that her photograph was one of 20 on The Post's March 19, 2022, cover highlighting 51 former intelligence officials who cast doubt on the authenticity of the laptop, according to an email sent the same day and obtained by Substack journalist Texas Lindsay.
"Hi All - I wanted to make you aware of the NYPost cover that I was 'featured' on related to the Oct 2020 story about Hunter Biden's emails when he was on the Board of the Ukrainian Gas company, Burisma and a letter signed by 100s of former IC officials," Bakos wrote in an email that listed her title as a senior policy domain specialist of site integrity.

Nada Bakos Shortly after, Bakos switched her LinkedIn account to private and locked her profile on Twitter, now known as X. Getty Images for HBO Bakos is widely believed to be the inspiration for Jessica Chastain's character of Maya in the 2012 film "Zero Dark Thirty," but has denied the rumors, saying Chastain's character "Appears to be an amalgamation of women I knew and worked with." Neither Bakos nor X immediately responded to a request for comment.
A senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, Bakos has also written articles for the Washington Post and other outlets criticizing former President Donald Trump for firing FBI director James Comey in May 2017 and arguing his tweets made him sensitive to Russian intelligence operations.
