American justice announced, Thursday, February 15, the indictment of a former FBI informant, prosecuted for having lied and fabricated false accusations of corruption against Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. These allegations were then used by the right to try to dismiss the president.
The ex-informant “provided false, derogatory information to the FBI about” of Joe and Hunter Biden, according to the indictment. An offense for which he faces 25 years of imprisonment.
A twist that weakens the impeachment investigation targeting Joe Biden
Alexander Smirnov, a former federal police informant, was arrested Thursday in Las Vegas, according to a press release from the special prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden. This 43-year-old man is suspected of having lied, accusing Joe and Hunter Biden of having each received five million dollars in bribes to allow a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, to escape prosecution.
This new twist weakens the impeachment investigation led by Republicans in Congress against Joe Biden, a few months before a probable new face-to-face between the Democrat and Donald Trump for the White House. The right accuses Joe Biden, so far without conclusive proof, of having used his influence when he was Barack Obama’s vice-president (2009-2017) to allow his son Hunter to conduct questionable deals in Ukraine and in China.
