The former FBI informant who has been charged with lying to investigators about the Biden family and their business dealings was rearrested on Thursday after authorities decided he is was a flight risk. https://twitter.com/ReallyAmerican1/status/1760800845266862576 From the Washington Post:
Alexander Smirnov, whose arrest last week surprised Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike, was taken into custody again Thursday morning in his lawyer’s office.
Prosecutors had argued that Smirnov’s claims of having significant relationships with Russian intelligence operatives, as well as millions of dollars at his disposal, meant that he was a flight risk.
Smirnov was indicted by a Los Angeles grand jury in a case brought by special counsel David Weiss, who is overseeing a separate investigation and prosecution of Hunter Biden for gun and tax charges.
A dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, Smirnov is charged with lying to the FBI in 2020 when he claimed to have knowledge of corruption by Joe Biden and his son.
Earlier this week, Smirnov admitted to having been fed information by Russian intelligence, saying that “officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story” about Hunter Biden. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1760108339168457086 Republicans are now in something of a spiral as many have publicly referenced the informant’s statements lies in an FBI document numerous times over the past few months as “proof” that President Biden was guilty of something. To date, they’ve found nothing to tie the president to any illegal. https://twitter.com/newrepublic/status/1760519814261440640 https://twitter.com/RpsAgainstTrump/status/1760506997961601440 https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1760735959535018117
