Indicted FBI Informant Linked to Trump Associates

Alexander Smirnov, charged with lying about the Bidens, was paid by a firm connected to Trump's business network.

Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant indicted for lying about the Biden family's dealings in Ukraine, was paid $600,000 by Texas-based Economic Transformation Technologies (ETT).
ETT is tied to a UK company owned by Trump associates, including investors connected to Damac Properties, a developer that partnered with Trump for a decade.
Smirnov's allegations against the Bidens, which began in 2020, were used to justify a House impeachment investigation but are now deemed 'impossible fabrications' by federal prosecutors.
House Republicans, who had touted Smirnov as a key witness against the Bidens, are facing scrutiny over the credibility of their impeachment efforts.
Smirnov is being held without bail, considered a flight risk due to his contacts with Russian officials and access to significant funds.
