Breaking news has emerged with a bombshell admission to the FBI by an informant regarding Hunter Biden. The informant revealed that Russian intelligence officials were directly involved in passing along false information about the president's son. The informant, Alexander Smirnov, made damaging allegations against President Biden, claiming that Hunter Biden and the former vice president were set to receive five million dollars each to influence business dealings for a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma. However, the FBI and the Justice Department have confirmed that these claims are entirely false.
Smirnov has been charged with lying to the FBI and falsifying records. Following his arrest, he admitted that Russian intelligence officials were behind the dissemination of the fabricated story about Hunter Biden. The Justice Department is pushing for Smirnov to remain detained, citing his extensive connections with intelligence officers in various countries, which they argue makes him a flight risk.
The court filing also raises concerns about potential efforts to influence future elections, specifically the 2024 election. The Justice Department suggests that Smirnov's actions may not be limited to the 2020 election and that he could be part of a broader campaign to spread misinformation that could impact upcoming U.S. elections. They point to Smirnov's planned business trips overseas and his associations with individuals linked to foreign intelligence agencies as potential avenues for interference in U.S. electoral processes.
