Special counsel David Weiss — who has previously filed criminal charges against President Biden’s son Hunter — announced new charges Thursday against a former FBI informant who officials say lied about the Bidens’ business dealings.
Alexander Smirnov, 43, is described in charging documents as a former confidential human source for the FBI who gave agents false information in 2020 about a prominent political figure and his son.
The description of the two individuals matches that of Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and a person familiar with the matter said those are the individuals about whom Smirnov lied. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.
The indictment returned by a grand jury in Los Angeles charges Smirnov with making a false statement and creating a false and fictitious record.
Smells like a defamation suit to me.
Civil liability in the amount of (the sum of how much money in politics?!?!)
