Steven L. Hall

Steven L. Hall (also known by the diplomatic cover name Stephen Holmes) is a retired American Central Intelligence Agency officer who served for 30 years before retiring in 2015. He was the CIA station chief at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, and later served as Chief of the Central Eurasia Division, overseeing intelligence operations in the countries of the former Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. His identity was publicly revealed by the Russian FSB in May 2013.

After retiring from the CIA, Hall became a CNN national security analyst and commentator on Russian affairs. In October 2020, he was among 51 former intelligence officials who signed a letter stating that reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation". In January 2025, President Donald Trump revoked the security clearances of all 51 signatories.
