The former FBI informant charged with lying about the Biden's business dealings in Ukraine has admitted to receiving information from Russian intelligence officials. Republicans have used these claims in their efforts to impeach President Biden, but continuing this investigation could inadvertently serve the interests of Vladimir Putin.
The informant's credibility has come into question, with revelations that he provided false information to the FBI over the course of a decade. Confidential informants like him are meant to supply information without the expectation of testifying in court, making verification by the FBI crucial. In this case, the FBI failed to confirm the accuracy of the information provided, leading to embarrassment and criticism.
