Former FBI informant Alexander Smirnoff has been charged with lying about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden's involvement with the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings. The charges leveled against Smirnoff by the special counsel pose a challenge to the Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
Smirnoff, 43 years old, was arrested at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas upon his return to the United States from overseas. He stands accused of fabricating records and lying to the FBI. This development has potentially significant consequences for the Hunter Biden case, as Smirnoff was considered a key witness with his allegations that Joe and Hunter Biden accepted $5 million each in bribes from associates connected to Burisma Holdings.
