A former FBI informant has been charged with lying about United States President Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s ties to a Ukrainian energy firm. David Weiss, the special counsel leading a criminal probe into Hunter Biden, said on Thursday (June 6) that a grand jury had indicted Alexander Smirnov on charges of making a “false statement” and “creating a false and fictitious record”. Reports that his defense includes payments received from republican sources to make up false claims about the Biden's. So much for the law and order party.
