House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday accused Attorney General William Barr of lying when he said China posed the greatest threat to U.S. elections this year.

"That’s just a plain false statement by the attorney general, a flat-out false statement," Schiff said in an interview with CNN. "What Bill Barr just did in that statement was just flat-out mislead the American people."

The comments from Schiff came just days after Barr was asked about U.S. intelligence noting that Russia, China and Iran are seeking to interfere in the 2020 elections. Asked whose meddling efforts were the most aggressive, Barr said the intelligence he'd seen showed it was China. However, he said he could not divulge details regarding that conclusion.

Schiff rejected Barr's remarks, saying it was "such a disservice to the country that we can't trust our own attorney general."

"But apparently Bill Barr is willing to do anything or say anything to help Donald Trump," he said.

Asked whether he was accusing Barr of lying, the California congressman said that is "basically what he's doing."

President Trump expressed admonition that “China is actually placing propaganda ads in the Des Moines Register and other papers made to look like news,” tweeting about a four-page supplement in the Des Moines Register purchased by China Daily. China Daily is a Chinese government-run media outlet that has spent more than $15.7 million on U.S. influence since 2017, according to the Center for Responsive Politics’ Foreign Lobby Watch data calculated from spending reported in Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) disclosures.

In remarks later that day before the General Assembly of the United Nations, where China’s foreign minister was also present, President Trump took that reproach step further. “We don’t want them to meddle or interfere in our upcoming election,” President Trump said of China, claiming that the United States has “found that China has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming 2018 election coming up in November against my administration.”

At a press conference after the U.N. Security Council meeting, President Trump buckled down on the claim, telling a reporter, “We have evidence. We have evidence. It will come out. I can’t tell you now, but it didn’t come out of nowhere, that I can tell you.”

The Chinese government’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, denied President Trump’s claims. “We did not and will not interfere in any country’s domestic affairs. We refuse to accept any unwarranted accusations against China,” he said while speaking before the United Nations General Assembly.

As one of the top 10 foreign principals spending on influence in the United States, China Daily has spent over $15.7 million to influence U.S. policy and public opinion since the beginning of 2017 — more than 75 percent of total spending on behalf of Chinese interests during that time period.

Last year alone, China Daily spent more than $12.6 million to influence policy and public opinion in the United States. China Daily has continued to spend millions more on U.S. influence in 2018, according to China Daily’s most recent Supplemental Statement disclosure which covers a six month period ending on April 30, 2018.

Terrorist leader Osama bin Laden could have passed along secret messages hidden in portable hard drives, DVDs and CDs containing pornography, all of which were found at his compound in Pakistan where he died, according to a new documentary from National Geographic.

Members of SEAL Team Six discovered a large number of digital thumb drives, DVDs and CDs containing around 470,000 files, or about 250 gigabytes of data. However, although some reports said that multiple computers were found at the compound, the New York Post and the Sun report that the compound had no computers and no internet access, only televisions. Bin Laden wrote in letters to associates that he did not trust email, and sent most of his correspondence and orders through couriers before his death.

In the documentary, "Bin Laden's Hard Drive," which airs on Thursday, Sept. 10, Peter Bergen, the CNN analyst who was the first Western journalist to conduct a televised interview with bin Laden, says that the al-Qaida leader may have hidden messages in porn files to avoid detection.

"Exploring these hard drives, it's clear that digital information can say a lot. Osama bin Laden's files left behind an imprint of a complex man, responsible for the murder of thousands of people," Bergen said, according to The Sun.

"History will remember him for that but, in order to cut through the perception of this ascetic in a cave on a holy crusade, it's important for us to see how he crafted the videos that went out to his followers," he added.

"Understanding him is vital in order to combat other potential bin Ladens in the future."
