Former FBI informant charged with lying about the Bidens’ role in Ukraine business

An FBI informant has been charged with lying about a bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and a Ukrainian energy company. The informant's claims have been central to the Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress.
The indictment reveals that the informant falsely claimed Burisma executives paid millions to Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, which undermines Republicans' allegations of financial benefit to Joe Biden from his son's business dealings in Ukraine.
Alexander Smirnov, the informant, had routine business dealings with Burisma in 2017 and made the bribery allegations against the Bidens due to his bias against Joe Biden.
