Ex-FBI informant accused of fabricating corruption allegations against Joe Biden. Alexander Smirnov is said to have received material for his stories from Russia.
Investigators warn that this false information could also have an impact on the upcoming US elections. The 43-year-old faces up to 25 years in prison for lying to the FBI about alleged bribes that Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden received from a Ukrainian gas company. The indictment is a major setback for opposition Republicans in their efforts to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Biden on corruption charges.
