'It's a last ditch effort to smear me and my family. There is no basis to this.' Joe Biden breaks silence on Hunter's laptop calling Rudy Giuliani Trump's 'henchman' - but doesn't deny emails are genuine

Former Vice President Joe Biden ripped a Republican senator who has used his committee perch to probe Biden's son and blasted Rudy Giuliani for peddling 'garbage' in his most extensive comments since the release of information said to be from Hunter Biden's laptop.
Biden, doing a local TV interview from his Delaware home, exploded when WISN, a Wisconsin ABC affiliate, brought up the subject.
He called it a 'desperate campaign' to smear him.
The angry pushback comes a day before Biden is to face President Donald Trump on a debate stage in Nashville – with Trump gearing up to accuse his rival of 'corruption' on stage just like he did four years ago.
The Milwaukee station's anchor asked Biden about Johnson's efforts as chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which last month issued a lengthy report on Hunter Biden 'corruption.'
'Wisconsin's Republican Senator Ron Johnson put out a statement — on Homeland Security letterhead — saying Hunter Biden, together with other Biden family members, profited off the Biden name,' Adrienne Pedersen said.
She asked Biden if there was any 'legitimacy' to what Johnson was claiming.
'None whatsoever!' Biden fumed. 'This is the same garbage Rudy Giuliani, Trump's henchman, it's a last-ditch effort in this desperate campaign to smear me and my family.'
Then he noted that GOP Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah had criticized the committee's actions to dig into the Bidens.
'Even the man who served with him on that committee, the former nominee for the Republican Party, said there's no basis to this,' Biden said.
'And the vast majority of the intelligence people have come out and said there's no basis at all. Ron should be ashamed of himself!' he said.
Biden did not however offer any denial of their contents being genuine.
