Former CIA station chief who revealed in an op-ed this week for the first time that he had received the letter and was asked to sign it, is explaining why he didn't add his name when he was asked to do so by former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell.

There was no evidence, and the letter noted there was no evidence" backing up the conclusion, Hoffman added. "We needed to do the forensics," he said, in order to assert a conclusion.

When he received the letter and was asked to sign it, there was no opportunity to edit its contents or "debate" its merits. Instead, the letter was already in its final form and being passed around seeking endorsements.
