EFTA00136851 | EFTA00136858 Breitbart <https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/10/19/dni-ratcliffe-hunter-bidens4aptop-is-not-part-of-somerussian-disinformation-campaige> (10/19, Poor, 673K) reports Ratcliffe said, "Apparently, Chairman Schiff wants anything against his preferred political candidate to be deemed as `not real' and as using the intelligence community or attempting to use the intelligence community to say there's nothing to see here." Ratcliffe added, "Don't drag the intelligence community into this. Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign, and I think it's clear that the American people know that." In addition, the New York Post <https://nypost.com/2020/10/19/john-ratcliffe-info-on-hunter-bidenlaptop-not-russian-disinformation/> (10/19, Moore, 4.57M) reports that Ratcliffe "said the computer is `in the jurisdiction of the FBI.'" Ratcliffe added, "The FBI has had possession of this." Ratcliffe said, "Without commenting on any investigation that they may or may not have, their investigation is not centered around Russian disinformation and the intelligence community is not playing any role with respect to that." However, USA Today <https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/10/19/russian-disinforrnation-notbehind-biden-emails-dni-ratcliffe-says/3712484001/> (10/19, Johnson, 10.3IM) reports Ratcliffe's comments that the emails "are not connected to a Russian disinformation effort" came "even as federal authorities continued to review whether the material was part of such a campaign." USA Today adds Ratcliffe "did not elaborate on the basis of his conclusion, though he acknowledged knowing `little' about the material published by the New York Post." Similarly, NBC News <https://www.nbcnews.corn/politics/national-security/ratcliffesays-no-proof-foreign-actors-tied-biden4aptop-officials-n1243874> (10/19, Dilanian, 6.14M) reports that Ratcliffe "insisted Monday that there is no evidence the Russians or other foreign actors were behind the emails allegedly found on a laptop linked to Hunter Biden, even as officials familiar with the matter tell NBC News the FBI continues to probe that question." In addition, the Daily Beast <https://wvvw.thedailybeast.com/thi-examining-hunter-bidenslaptop-as-foreign-opcontradicting-john-ratcliffe-trumps-intel-czar> (10/19, Ackerman, Sommer, 1.39M) says Ratcliffe's assessment "gets out in front of the FBI, which took custody of the laptop and an external hard drive as early as in December, according to the New York Post." The FBI, according to a "congressional source," is "looking into the provenance of the material. And among the questions they're seeking to answer is whether the laptop dump is part of what the intelligence community's counterintelligence chief has already described as a Russian disinformation effort targeting the 2020 election." The Hill <http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/521712-ratcliffe-schiff-battle-over-biden-emails-politicizedintelligence> (10/19, Beavers, Concha, 2.98M) reports that in response to Ratcliffe, Patrick Boland, "a spokesman for Schiff, argued that the DNI is `purposefully misrepresenting' the chairman's words to help Trump. Boland said Schiff stands behind his remarks to CNN." Schiff had previously told CNN, "Clearly, the origins of this whole smear are from the Kremlin, and the president is only too happy to have Kremlin help and try to amplify it." The Washington Examiner <https://www.washingtonexaminer.corn/news/adam-schiffspokesman-ratcliffe-purposefully-misrepresenting-comments-about-hunter-biden4aptop-story> (10/19, Soellner, 448K) reports Boland added, "The new wave of attacks we are seeing on Vice President Biden are consistent with the false and unsubstantiated narratives that the President, his personal lawyer, and a sanctioned Russian agent have been pushing for well over a year." Breitbart <https://www.breitbart.corn/politics/2020/10/19/senior-intel-official-adam-schiff-spreading-falseinformation-under-the-guise-of-intelligence/> (10/19, 673K) reports a "senior intelligence official" told them "on Monday there is no intelligence to support" Schiff's "assertion that recent reports about Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings are part of a Russian disinformation campaign." The Dallas Morning News <https://www.dallasnews.corn/news/politics/2020/10/19/spy-chief-weighs-in-onhunter-bidenlaptop-dispute-says-ny-post-story-isnt-russian-disinformation/> (10/19, Cooper, 946K) says the story "centers around an email of questionable authenticity that the Post says it retrieved from a hard drive from a laptop provided by Trump's lawyer [Rudy] Giuliani, who has repeatedly pushed unfounded claims about the Bidens." In an exclusive, Mediaite <https://www.mediaite.corn/tv/exclusive-fox-news-passed-on-hunter-bidenlaptop-story-over-credibility-concerns/> (10/19, Hall, 327K) reports Giuliani "first approached" Fox News about the laptop, but its news division "chose not to run the story unless or until the sourcing and veracity of the emails EFTA00136858 Epstein Web iOS app on the App Store.
