The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating whether a foreign intelligence agency is involved in the recent email leak of Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden from Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, reported on the 16th ( local time).

According to NBC, the FBI seized and investigated Hunter’s laptop and hard drive, which contained emails containing the context of the Ukraine scandal.

With less than three weeks to go until the presidential election, the scandal began to resurface on the 14th when the New York Post reported on Hunter’s laptop that an email was found that would become the “ smoking gun ” of the US scandal. Ukraine.

According to the New York Post, in an email sent in April 2015, a senior Ukrainian official from Burisma told Hunter: “Thank you for inviting me to Washington and giving me the opportunity to meet your father.”

Consequently, Biden’s side of the election field rebuts, saying, “As a result of reviewing Biden’s official calendar, I have never met (with Burisma staff).”

According to NBC Broadcasting, the authenticity of the email reported by The New York Post has yet to be revealed.

The New York Post said of the source of the email: “The owner of the computer repair shop gave the laptop data to former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and obtained it through Giuliani.” Former New York Mayor Giuliani is a representative politician close to President Trump.

In April, a man reportedly left his laptop at a computer repair shop in Delaware, Ohio, USA, and did not find the laptop after a while. Consequently, the owner of the repair shop looked at the data on the laptop and, when serious data came out, contacted Giuliani’s acquaintance and the FBI.

However, there are claims that it is hard to believe that the hunter left a laptop filled with illegal circumstances at a repair shop, the NBC broadcast said. “There is speculation that someone hacked into Hunter’s account data and saved it on the laptop to filter it naturally. I said.

The FBI investigation is said to focus on the source of the email rather than the facts. The Russian intelligence agency is investigating the possibility of leaking unfavorable information to hurt candidate Biden.
