The claim that Chone and Solomon Sheinbaum were born in the Russian Empire in Lithuania is supported by the Panorama article, which states both were born in Lithuania during the Russian Empire, and by AP, which says her grandparents immigrated from Lithuania.
What was said
… Wikipedia is very good for that. Now, the two people who matter in her family history, these are the people who founded Marxism in Latin America, or at least, you know, Mexico and Cuba: um her father and her uncle oh, sorry, her grandfather and her, her uncle, Shane, although this is spelled C-H-O-N-E somehow, and Solomon Schnebaum. They were born in the Russian Empire, of course, Lithuania. They migrated to Mexico in the early twentieth century that's grandfather and great uncle.

The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Panorama states that Juan (Chone) and Solomon Sheinbaum were born in Lithuania during the Russian Empire, and that they were the grandfather and great-uncle of Claudia Sheinbaum.[2]
Supports. AP reports that Sheinbaum's four grandparents were Jews who immigrated from Lithuania and Bulgaria, consistent with a Lithuanian origin for her paternal grandfather.[1]
Supports. Al Jazeera describes her paternal grandfather Chone Sheinbaum as a Lithuanian Jew, and the Jewish Voice for Liberation article names Chone and Solomon Sheinbaum as her grandfather and great-uncle.[3][4]
Context. Other sources (Wikipedia, enciclopedia.net, planoinformativo) say Chone emigrated from Lithuania to Mexico in the 1920s, which does not conflict with a Lithuanian birth but does not directly state where he was born.[5][6][7]
