Former FBI informant accused of lies against Hunter Biden. Allegations were then used by the right to try to impeach the president.
Alexander Smirnov, a former federal police informant, was arrested Thursday in Las Vegas. The 43-year-old man is suspected of having lied, accusing Joe and Hunter Biden of having each received five million dollars in bribes to allow a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, to escape prosecution. This new twist weakens the impeachment investigation led by Republicans in Congress against Joe Biden.
