- That bombshell revelationlast week involving Joe

and Hunter Biden's businessdealings in Ukraine

is getting more interesting

the focus now turning tothe story behind the story.

- Now the FBI wants to know if Russia

or any other foreign entity,

is behind the late breaking revelations.

Here with us now, CBN Newsnational security correspondent,

Eric Phillips, Eric.

- Yeah, Jenna and John it'salmost too coincidental, right,

when you consider the email scandal

that consumed the FBIand the Clinton campaign

back during the presidentialelection of 2016.

Well, that involved Russian interference,

and some are worried this does too,

although this time around

many people are much more skeptical,

including the Directorof National Intelligence.

- Vice President Biden,

you owe the people of America an apology

because it turns out,

you are a corrupt politician.

Okay?(crowd cheering)

- [Narrator] PresidentTrump wasted no time

on the campaign trail

seizing on the discovery of emails

alleged to be from Hunter Biden.

They surfaced in a "NewYork Post" report last week,

one of them seeming to indicate

that then Vice President Biden,

met with an executive withUkrainian gas company burisma

at his son Hunter's behest.

Even though Biden has long insisted

he had no intimate knowledgeof his son's business dealings

with the company that paidHunter, $50,000 a month,

to sit on its board.

- Joe Biden must immediatelyrelease all emails, meetings,

phone calls, transcriptsand records related,

to his involvement and hisfamily's business dealings.

- [Narrator] The FBI isinvestigating whether the emails

could be part of a Russiandisinformation campaign.

Although Director ofNational Intelligence,

John Ratcliffe tells Fox Business,

that's not the case.

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani is reportedly

one of the sources in exposing the emails

and Giuliani has admitted

to working with a knownRussian agent in the past,

to dig up dirt on the Biden's.

Giuliani says the emails

came from a computer repairshop owner in Delaware,

who contacted his office.

- And he wanted us to have these.

He also thought it woulddisplay numerous crimes.

So we gave them to my lawyer,we have the entire hard drive.

- [Narrator] The Biden campaigndenies any such meeting

being on his official schedule.

Here's how Biden himself responded Friday,

when a reporter asked him about it.

- I know you'd ask it. I have no response.

It's another smear campaign,right up your alley.

Those are the questions you always ask.

- [Narrator] Michael O'Hanlon

with the Brookings Institution says

while it's unclear whetherthere was outside interference,

either way, it's of little consequence.

- My instinct is to thinkthat there may have been

guilt to be shared widely.

But I also think themagnitude of the offense

is more in the category ofa misdemeanor than a felony

by modern politics standardsin the United States.

It doesn't rise to the levelof what we saw in 2016.

- There has been other fallout from this

as both Facebook and Twitter

have limited the amountof spread of the article

or information about the article

because the emails have not been verified.

Now some Republicans on theSenate Judiciary Committee

say big tech companies areplaying partisan politics,

by using censorship.

In fact, some of them are threatening

to subpoena the headsof Facebook and Twitter,

as soon as
