A former FBI informant is set to plead guilty to charges related to a phony bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The informant, Alexander Smirnov, is expected to plead guilty to a felony charge in Los Angeles for lying about the bogus story and a separate tax evasion charge.
Smirnov had alleged that executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid President Biden and Hunter Biden $5 million each around 2015. However, investigations revealed that Smirnov had only routine business dealings with Burisma starting in 2017, and no evidence has emerged to support the bribery claims against the Bidens.
