Explicit photos and emails purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden were circulating in Ukraine last year at the same time that Rudy Giuliani was searching for dirt there on former Vice President Joe Biden, two people approached about the material during that period tell TIME.

The emails’ alleged availability, which has not been previously reported, comes to light in the wake of Giuliani’s recent claims that he obtained private photos and emails of Hunter Biden from a broken laptop abandoned in Delaware. Giuliani, who is President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, has passed this material to right-wing news outlets, which began publishing it last week. Giuliani did not respond to requests for comment on the origins of the material he obtained.

Over the past year, the practice of selling or leaking private communications has become so common in Ukraine that the government has announced plans to pass a law against it. Igor Novikov, a former adviser to Ukraine’s President who now researches disinformation, referred to the practice as Ukraine’s “national sport” in a recent interview with the Washington Post.

The two people who said they were approached with Hunter Biden’s alleged emails last year did not know whether any of them were real and they declined to identify who was behind the offers, the first of which came in late May 2019 and the second in mid-September 2019. The two people said they could not confirm whether any of the material presented to them was the same as that which has been recently published in the U.S.

1. Hmmm. Any possibility former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin is behind these?

(I mean, if you trace it back far enough?) And maybe with help from Russia.

Wasn't he working with Giuliani early on? Before Derkach and Bannon?

Maybe I'm mixed up, though.

2. Rudy, traitor and the GOP work hand in hand with our enemy, it is known they do this

and it is barely news.

That is why we are a broken, unfixable society.

We may survive, but as long as these traitors are around we cant be fixed.

3. Nobody cares because Hunter Biden's name is not on the ballot. n/t
