An FBI informant was charged Thursday with making up a bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden at the heart of the Republicans’ impeachment efforts.
Alexander Smirnov in 2020 falsely reported to the FBI that executives at the Ukrainian energy firm Bursima paid Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016 in order to “protect” them from “all kinds of problems,” according to The Associated Press.
