Senate GOP's Biden investigation mimics Russian propaganda tactics

Sen. Ron Johnson's preoccupation with Joe and Hunter Biden has dismayed Democrats on the Homeland Security Committee who view it as a politically motivated distraction.

Even before last week's intelligence assessment on foreign election interference, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson was facing criticism from Democrats that his investigation of presidential candidate Joe Biden and Ukraine was politically motivated and advancing Russian interests.

But the stark warning that Russia is working to denigrate the Democratic presidential candidate adds to questions about the probe by Johnson's Senate committee and whether it is mimicking, even indirectly, Russian efforts and amplifying its propaganda.

The investigation is unfolding as the country, months removed from an impeachment case that had centered on Ukraine, is dealing with a pandemic and confronting the issue of racial injustice. Yet allegations about Biden and Ukraine remain a popular topic in conservative circles, pushed by Russian media and addressed regularly by Donald Trump and other Republicans as a potential path toward energizing his supporters.
