'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.

Shiffty is as chromed as LOMBARD STREET!
Schiff’s ChCom handlers told him to say that
I wouldn’t get too worked up about these counterclaims. I think Rudy is holding back on the really big bombshells as a way of letting guys like Schiff jump in with their various nonsenses. Then the trap slams shut on their long, fat . . . er tongues.
In our middle school band we had a guy who could play only one note.
So - only foreign intelligence agencies are allowed to know the truth about our leaders.
When was the last time Schiff told the truth about anything?
Lyin’ Schifft. Prove it.
I understand what you’re saying but respectfully, that has nothing to do with the laptop story.
Just because a country has their missiles aimed at us does not mean that a political party can use that as an excuse every time one of their scandals is exposed.
In this case the Russians are in fact Boogeymen.
It’s usually the guy who points fingers the most who’s actually the most corrupt. I suspect Schiff is a Russian agent.
Sasha Dubinsky, the one-armed violinist!
When your only tool is Russia, everything looks like collusion...
No his source is probably Wray who busy creating supporting evidence.
Yup!
No rumor is true until it's been officially denied...
Poor Adam, using too much cocaine again
Russian crack troops!
Still no actual denial. Just deflection.
Nary a denial in all the smoke.
