The Federal Bureau of Investigation probed whether emails purportedly recovered from a laptop allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son are part of a Russian disinformation operation to interfere in the 2020 election, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The New York Post reported on Oct. 14 that the emails suggest that Biden’s son Hunter introduced his father, then the vice president, to an executive at a Ukrainian energy firm in 2015. Hunter Biden was on the company’s board at the time.
