50 ex-agents: Biden article resembles Russian smear campaign
Article about the Democratic presidential candidate's son resembles attempts at Russian electoral influence, according to experts.
A critical article about the Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, his son Hunter and shady connections to a Ukrainian energy company is apparently the result of a Russian attempt to influence elections.
It estimates more than 50 former intelligence agents who have signed and published a letter with the conclusion Monday.
Several American media outlets mention this, including Politico.
The letter concludes, among other things, that the article "has all the classic signs of a Russian information operation".
The New York Post media last week published an article allegedly based on a series of emails mysteriously obtained from Hunter Biden's computer.
The article suggests that Joe Biden had used his previous position as US Vice President to help his son get a gold-rimmed seat on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
No other media has been able to verify the content of the article. At the same time, both Twitter and Facebook have blocked the sharing of the article.
Several former CIA directors have since been involved in assessing the case.
They have a "strong suspicion that the Russian government has played a major role in the case", the letter states.
- And if we are right, then it is Russia that is trying to influence how Americans vote in this election. And we believe that the American people need to be aware of that, it further states.
The signatories to the letter include other ex-agents who have worked under the last four presidents - including Donald Trump.
They emphasize that they cannot say with certainty whether the emails in question are genuine.
