WASHINGTON - The FBI is investigating whether emails that were published this week by the New York Post related to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and his purported dealings in Ukraine are connected to a possible Russian influence operation in an effort to spread disinformation ahead of the 2020 presidential election, according to the Associated Press.The New York Post said Wednesday that it obtained "smoking-gun" emails about Hunter Biden and an alleged meeting between then-Vice President Joe Biden and an executive at a Ukrainian energy firm.
A 2015 email published by the Post purported to show a top adviser for Burisma, the Ukraine gas company where Hunter Biden held a board seat, thanking Biden for giving him an opportunity to meet his father.
