'We know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin.'
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on Friday described revelations from a slew of emails in a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden as being part of a smear coming “from the Kremlin” -- amid claims the revelations are part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
“We know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin," Schiff said on CNN. "That's been clear for well over a year now that they've been pushing this false narrative about this vice president and his son.”
The California Democrat was responding to questions about the origins of emails, found on a laptop purported to belong to the son of Democratic nominee Joe Biden, and first reported by the New York Post.
Those emails reveal that Hunter Biden purportedly introduced his father to a top executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings in 2015, while another appears to reportedly outline a payout for Biden as part of a deal with a Chinese energy firm.
While Fox News has not independently verified the Post’s reporting, Fox has spoken to one of the people who was copied on the email about the Chinese energy firm, who confirmed its authenticity.
The Bidens' relationship with Ukraine came under special attention last year as House Democrats pursued an impeachment inquiry surrounding President Trump's July 25 call with Ukraine's president, in which Trump asked the president to look into Biden’s dealings in the country.
Trump in recent days has drawn attention to the new revelations from the Post, something that drew criticism from Schiff.
“The origins of this whole smear are from the Kremlin and the president is only too happy to have Kremlin help in trying to amplify it,” he said Friday on CNN.

Hey Bernie Bros. howz it goin?
The FBI hid a laptop that would have sunk the establishment candidate, for the second consecutive cycle.
Bernie took the bribe, and did not cry foul. He left ALL of you looking like suckers!
Bernie could have been the nominee in 2016, and 2020, only if he was a legit fighter.
Bernie Bros, you got played, again!!!!
What you'll find is: "We have this moron congressman from California running cover for us. We won't even have to pay him off, he's so stupid he'll do our bidding for nothing."
The Democrats’ Russia fixation is truly bizarre.
Except it’s less believable than the dog ate my homework excuse.
Words are cheap Shift. Where is your proof??
I sure know what to say when they dish out the October Surprise against Trump.
IT’S THE RUSSIANS!!!
Two can play at this ridiculous game.
My October surprise is bigger than your October surprise. Size counts.
Trump’s is a big, beautiful, yuuuge October Surprise!
The Russians! It was the Russians! Who cudda seen that coming?
I suspect POTUS has plans for that little worm after the new year
The excuse-machine is worn out already.
Americans see it.
I guess for some, every Democratic Party political problem and be resolved by blaming it on “Russia, Russia, Russia!”
Yes, he’s seen the evidence and it’s undisputable.
Because Russia Russia Russia worked SOOoo well those other times, eh Shifftee?
Poor little bug-eyed man, he modus operindia fits that definition of Insanity to a tee.
Man when I read the headline I spit potato chips all over. I was convinced this was a Bee story. Bwahahaha!!!
Schiff is clearly deranged. One look at him and Stevie Wonder can see he is nuts
The only way Schiff would know this is if he’s in contact with the Kremlin. I think Schiff is a Russian agent doing their bidding.
Democrats have Russia, Russia, Russia on the brain living rent free 24/7.
Oinchas Ha Kohen needs to impale Schiff Zimri style
Schiff is absolutely deranged. He is a danger to have in Congress. Absolutely off his rocker. And, he drinks a quart of Stupid Juice every morning.
