💨 Abstract

A federal judge has denied the release of a former FBI informant, Alexander Smirnov, who fabricated a story about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter accepting bribes. The false claim became central to a Republican impeachment effort. Smirnov was sentenced to six years in prison in January for tax evasion and lying to the FBI. His attorneys plan to appeal the decision.
