Ex-FBI Informant Indicted for Lying About Bidens and Burisma

The indictment of Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant, for allegedly lying about Joe and Hunter Biden's involvement with Burisma, casts doubt on claims central to GOP investigations.

Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant, was indicted for allegedly lying about Joe and Hunter Biden's involvement with Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
The indictment raises questions about the credibility of claims used by House Republicans in their impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
Smirnov faces charges of making a false statement and creating a false and fictitious record, with a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison if convicted.
Despite the indictment, some argue that there is still a 'treasure trove of evidence' linking the Bidens to alleged corruption.
The case against Smirnov deals a blow to Republican accusations and is seen as undermining the foundation of their impeachment inquiry.
