The trial for Alexander Smirnov, the ex-FBI informant charged with making false statements related to Joe Biden and Hunter Biden's business ties in Ukraine, has been postponed until early December. Originally scheduled to begin in Los Angeles on April 23, the trial was delayed to allow for additional preparation time.
Smirnov's defense attorneys, along with special counsel David Weiss, requested the delay citing the need for adequate time to prepare for the trial effectively. The request also mentioned the necessity to handle classified material in discovery, requiring compliance with the Classified Procedures Act. U.S. District Judge Otis Wright granted the motion, rescheduling the trial to commence on December 3 at 9:30 a.m.
