A former FBI informant charged with lying about the Bidens' dealings in Ukraine has reportedly told investigators that Russian intelligence officials were connected to providing false information about Hunter Biden. Alexander Smirnov, mentioned in a recent court filing by prosecutors, claimed to have significant recent contacts with foreign intelligence officials. Prosecutors revealed that Smirnov previously mentioned having longstanding ties with Russian spies, including high-ranking intelligence officers. The special counsel's team, led by David Weiss, stated that Smirnov admitted to Russian intelligence involvement in passing a story about Hunter Biden during a post-arrest interview last week. This revelation sheds light on potential foreign interference in matters concerning the Bidens' activities, as investigations continue into the veracity of the information provided.
