The Democratic chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Sunday accused U.S. Attorney General William Barr of lying when he said China posed a bigger threat to November's U.S. election than Russia.

WASHINGTON - The Democratic chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Sunday accused U.S. Attorney General William Barr of lying when he said China posed a bigger threat to November’s U.S. election than Russia.

Barr, named attorney general by President Donald Trump last year, told CNN on Wednesday that China was more of a threat than Russia when it comes to alleged interference in the U.S. elections. “I’ve seen intelligence. That’s what I’ve concluded,” he said, without offering details. Trump’s rival in the Nov. 3 election, former Vice President Joe Biden, said on Friday he did not agree that China was the biggest threat to the election and that such an assessment was not consistent with intelligence briefings he had received.

Say his name. Adam Schiff, the same guy who swore he had definitive proof of Russian collusion for weeks.

He expressed an opinion. In MY opinion, Reuters is interfering with the upcoming election. Just doing what you are told, in my opinion. Simply taking the money, in my opinion.

And how does that change the price of coffee. Does Barr care? 🤪

Of course a Democrat will say that knowing Bidens ties to China

Canadian Reuters attempting to sway a US election.

TRUMP 2020🇱🇷

Schiff, king of the Russian hoax, has the nerve to call someone else a liar? Why is Schiff still head of the Intelligence Committee or even in Congress?

TrumpTeamLies

What happened to Government protecting against ALL foreign influence.

No one cares what he thinks.

This guy is a Trump puppet

Barr is lying

Bcuz Billy Barr is a liar and thug punk AG

People accuse each other of things all the time, doesnt mean its real.

More china ccp agents trying to downplay their interference and threats in the US

The trump administration is founded on dishonesty and other unethical behaviors

BurgerMeister MeisterBurger Bah Humbug

of course that's a blatant lie! everyone knows the biggest threat to November's US election is me!!! VOTE QUIMBY!

Top Democrat accusing someone of lying? Imagine that.

From the criminal head of the injustice department

What he meant to say was China poses a bigger threat to Trump over Biden, Not that Russia isn't a bigger threat to the overall election.

Putin agree

Of course he did...he's Trump's attorney and attack dog.

He was.

ElwoodLampblack William Disbarr.

Schiff is still shifty. Anyone with their EYES OPENED know China is where the danger lies.

A talking puppet

When a chairman of the US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee plays a political game and see no threats from hostile country like China then he should be fired from the job. He is nothing but a politician thug ready to compromise security of the country.

Another dog of trump

How on earth is that a lie?

Omg... wake up people. Put your bias aside. Read up on WHY China is the biggest threat to the USA. Question everything. Do your research.

RepAdamSchiff is a typical leftist low life. Hope he gets kicked out of congress.

Democrats protecting China again?

To a Democrat Chairman its always Russia, ans it always will be.... Russia, Russia, Russia....

Adam Schiff....ok this clown is still allowed to be chairman of anything?

That is because Biden is working with China as well as Russia it is obvious

Yeah, but only because he was...

It's part of the strategy, if you deny all Russian actions against the USA elections, China is the threat.

I don't know Reuters, it sounds like he was 'implying' more than 'accusing'.

But those spicy memes!

Maybe the administration stopped briefing Barr, too.

Trump is poisoning US with hatred and division. Putin happy. Trump desperate to win reelection. When Putin is displeased, he does what Trump is doing to US. Vote out Trump & his GOP enablers.

🖕

Distraction is their MO. Barr is trying to deviate attention from Russia we all know that. He’s following his cult leader.

He means China is a threat economically Even though they won’t admit it!!

Rofl - you said “Top Democrat” Well thats as far as I got. Have a sarcastic day 💋

'Schiff was not telling the truth when he kept dripping out lies to compliant reporters. Because he helped them accomplish their political goals against their nemesis Trump, however, they have not held him accountable.'

Both Barr and Trump lie reflexively...

Trump2020🇱🇷

Leftists are so mad Barr is talking about their masters like that

Lying is what this US Trump regime does, daily and about almost anything.

Yet another distraction by the swamp monsters

Watch riding the dragon on YouTube all your questions will be answered

Barr lies about everything! You can see it in his face!

So Republicans should accuse Harris of lying about Russia election threat

Is that kind of like Russia not being a threat in 2012 but . . .

The Democrats have a list of lies that they plan to tell about Trump, with the help of the media, over the next weeks. Their 'suckers' fabrication has already crashed and burned, but they have plenty more lined up.

Whoever wins the election, the strategy to China won’t be changed. Therefore, China is not interested in the internal affairs of the USA.

why Democrats keeps defending the evil communist China? FBI has tons of evidences pointing at China which has been undermining our free system for so long, along with the facts that the top Democrats are bribed into helping China and weakening USA. Wake up America!

just that?

He lies every time he goes on TV. Small lies, big lies, constant dissembling, distraction, pivoting away from the question, you name it.

It seems Democrats are the only people caring about democracy, our laws and the Constitution!

When Trump is voted out can we put this guy into handcuffs first Lock him up and throw away the keys

Define 'Top Democrat' cause I havent2seen any good ones.

BidenDementia

He ain't lying it's not Russia it's china

Why would republicans lie about that ? Biden’s the one that asked Xi to help him get elected! Biden’s the one that got his son a $1 billion deal for his son from China , that helped the Chinese military. TrumpIsATraitor TrumpFailed TrumpVirus And XI responded with a virus!

One must ask themselves, why is RepAdamSchiff unwilling to believe the largest near peer competitor a bigger threat. Politics or more. I would hope politics could be put aside to view a threat honestly. He has proven incapable of that.

Omg.. I thought it was Mufasa!.. lol 😆

China has interfered for years. Why would they stop now, especially after their investment in the Bidens?

Shocker 🙄🙄🙄

The same party that made up Russian Collusion.

Sinking.

Barr is a disgrace, worse than Trump.

He looks like he eats flies for lunch. No, not fries. Flies

How about we stop fighting or who said what and upgrade our voter security/infrastructure, and show it to the public how it benefits everybody so both sides shut up.

The threat from China re: our elections could very well be real. However if China can get in, anyone can get in (Russia, NK, and INTERNAL actors included). The real threat to our elections IS OUR OWN CYBER SECURITY. Ask jennycohn1

Adam Schiff? Top democrat? lol.. Who would have guessed it was Schiff, the liar in chief himself? He is a partisan hack, not to mention Schiff should be in prison for sedition and treason.. and he really should shut up, he is a traitor and a criminal. 😒

BS 🤭

But we all heard how they endorsed the Russian interference for the last 4 years, with no evidence.

BaldingsWorld I guess we have another Global Times person. Also, China is a far greater threat than a Russia with an economy the size of Italy's.

You know what 'threatens' the US election for Democrats? A crappy candidate, people staying home because they don't want to vote for either wing of the corporatist war party, and widespread home-grown voter fraud. Not 'China' or 'Russia'... good grief.

I hope the evidence is an anonymous source.

Typical Democrat. Always blindly accusing others without basis.

Most people around Donald Trump have no problem lying. Seems to be an honor to tell the best lie.

Top Democrat? Mayor Pete or...?

One person you don't expect to lie is the attorney General. He must have caught the trump disease 🤔

BeijingBiden

Dems, move to China already! Sick of it!

They are both lying.... But does it matter..? Whatever they say Americans will believe

That's not the first time AG has bend the truth. History will remember him as one of the weak links in not upstanding our democratic way of life. Balance of power is of utmost importance in keeping the balance between justice and injustice. AG has failed us. vote2020

He’s not warning of foreign intervention, he’s requesting it.

woods353 He lies about everything.

JeffCrowder16 Always the same stupid ' I know nothing face, when he knows it all, probably planned it.'

Accuses Really Reuter’s How about calls out Barr’s Lie? You do know that’s a lie and not what the DNI said right? You are a News organization right Quit using ambiguous words! Tell the truth! BARR LIED, Top Democrat called him out!

Barr is a lying POS human being, just like Trump!

Democrat? So no credibility

Everyone knows that the CCP is the biggest liar and robber on the planet. Don’t the Democratic Party know that?

Barr absolutely did lie, and it wasn’t the first time he’s lied to Americans. He’s NOT our US-Attorney General. He’s a mob boss fixer! BarrIsScum

You think it couldn't get worse than the keebler elf. SMH

You mean Barr could actually be capable of telling the truth for once ?

Lying has become an art form! I will hire the best! The best liers that is!

You lost all credibility in this story after the first two words in the headline.

Only idiots don’t know CCP is the biggest threat!

Any Californian with at least an upper middle class income knows the Dems are thick as thieves with China/CCP. Sooo much money from China flows into CA...and their pockets. There is no way dems will give that goose up easily.

Saw the court trial.he lied so much.saying..im not sure what each states rules are on voting rules.tryin to argue it wasnt a crime 2 vote twice.he shouldnt be att general if he thinks its ok 2 vote twice.corrupt! Just like trump.disgusting.

He thinks the American people are stupid! Wrong! We see the corruption in front of us! Shame on Barr! Feel sorry for his kids!

Ah, so it's China now? Gonna be North Korea next week? Gotta keep cycling through those boogeymen.

Those colluded with Communist China say China is not a threat.

He’s a phukin lying criminal. It’s easily provable in a court of law. We’re all witnesses. I’m picturing his trial n conviction coming swiftly. At this age for his crimes he’s going to die in prison. So Mote It Be. ✨ That will be Justice.

Imagine if dems actually did their jobs and impeached Barr when he lied about the mueller report.

To solve this government misinformation problems, Congress should pass a law to treat public speaking in front of TV and news organizations the same as under oath!

Add North Korea, Iran and a host of others entering the chaotic world of American in debt politics...

When Adan Schiff talks - nobody listens.

CORRECTION: Top American Communist accuses U.S. attorney general of lying about China election threat.

It is what it is

Cant wait for the trials in 2021. This guy will be all over TV with his dumpy face and 'i dunno's' put them all away for life. Traitors, every single one.

They use 'Top Democrat' in the headline instead of Adam Schitt, cause they know once you read the name, the story is bullshit.

Top Democrat also probably 'reclaimed his time' before Barr could answer the slur, but yeah, go ahead and report as if the D's are actually serious

Of course he's lying. And, he has the 4th most punchable face in the administration.

Really..... this administration lied!

According to anonymous sources.

I don't think America will ever be great again after this administration
