During a Tuesday Fox News interview, Trump addressed Schiff's evidence-free claim that the Hunter Biden email leaks, which detail his alleged dealings in Ukraine and China, were coming "from the Kremlin." The leaks were published by the New York Post last week.
"It's just crazy," Trump said of the theory, referring to the Democratic congressman as "Shifty Schiff" and a "sick" man, who was purposefully obfuscating the issue.
"Thank god we have John Ratcliffe," Trump added, pointing out that the director of national intelligence refuted the speculation on Monday. During his own sit down with Fox, DNI Ratcliffe said that there was "no intelligence" to support Schiff's position, and accused the politician of "politicizing" intelligence.
The president recalled similar accusations made by his failed 2016 rival Hillary Clinton, who previously implied that the Green Party's former nominee Jill Stein and Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard were "Russian assets."
"This was like Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein, when Hillary Clinton said it about them... that they were agents of Russia," Trump noted, adding, "They were not agents of Russia, they never spoke to anybody from Russia."
The speculation on foreign involvement in the Biden email leaks began last Wednesday after the Post published a series of bombshell reports implying that former Vice President Joe Biden might have been involved in his son's personal business dealings abroad, which he has always denied.

This is a typical RT disclaimer, basically saying, 'What we just reported is probably bullshit since Biden denies it'. RT is an MSM outlet pretending, like Fox, to be "fair & balanced".
RT staffers knew full well that they couldn't state that the NYPost articles were lies, so they did what they dared. RT staff writers, those without bylines, seem to come from a common pool used by WaPo, Fox, and other MSM hacks. RT is an MSM outlet, not some font of wisdom, as you seem to think. I'll also say that I almost give a tin shit that you think what I posted was odd or that it doesn't advance intelligent thought. Your takeaway is beside the point that I was making.
