Ex-FBI informant behind fake Biden-Ukraine bribery allegations sentenced to 6 years in prison
- A former FBI informant, Alexander Smirnov, was sentenced to six years in prison for fabricating bribery allegations against President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, which were central to impeachment efforts.
- Smirnov pleaded guilty to tax evasion and lying to the FBI about a phony bribery scheme, claiming executives from Burisma paid Biden and his son $5 million each.
- Prosecutors noted Smirnov's false claims triggered significant congressional attention during the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden, who won the 2020 election against then-President Donald Trump.
- Smirnov's lawyers argued for a lighter sentence due to his health issues and the assistance he provided to the U.S. Government as an informant for over a decade.
