Ex-FBI informant charged with lying about Bidens will appear in court as judge weighs his detention
Former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov has been charged with fabricating a bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son. Smirnov claimed to have evidence that executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid the Bidens $5 million each in 2015, allegations which became central to a Republican impeachment inquiry. The prosecution asserts Smirnov has ties to Russian intelligence, and has urged Judge Otis Wright II to keep him in custody, fearing he may flee the country.
