AP: FBI INVESTIGATING HUNTER BIDEN EMAILS AS PART OF RUSSIAN DISINFO OPERATION

>The episode is being investigated as part of a possible Russian influence operation, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press to discuss an ongoing matter. It underscores the extent to which Giuliani, through his activities, is a risk to a White House that spent years shadowed by a federal investigation into whether Trump associates had coordinated with Russia.

>The authenticity of the emails remained unclear as of Friday, including whether they were hacked or possibly forged or both. Giuliani did not respond to an Associated Press request for comment, but he said in a Fox News interview Friday that the material was “authentic as hell."

>An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment Friday, citing the bureau’s practice of neither confirming nor denying investigations
