Former FBI informant admitted he lied about bribes in the Biden and Burisma case.


Former FBI informant confessed to guilt for fabricating recordings about Joe Biden's bribes
Former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov acknowledged his guilt for fabricating recordings and providing false testimony about bribes involving Joe Biden and his son Hunter. This was reported by CNN, citing a statement from the California court.
Under a plea agreement, Smirnov agrees to plead guilty to four charges, including tax evasion and providing false information to the FBI. He also admits that his reports about bribes from the Ukrainian company Burisma were fabricated.
Under the agreement, the prosecutor requests the court to impose a prison sentence on Smirnov of four to six years.
Smirnov is a key witness in the investigation concerning Hunter Biden and the Burisma company. His testimony became the basis for an investigation initiated by Republicans against President Biden and his family, and it also triggered a House investigation into Biden's impeachment.
Joe Biden is accused of pressuring Ukrainian authorities not to investigate the activities of Burisma while he was Vice President of the United States. However, the investigation showed that Smirnov intentionally turned his business contacts with the company into accusatory statements against the Bidens.
From 2014 to 2019, Joe Biden's son, Hunter, served on the board of directors of Burisma, which belongs to former Ukrainian Minister of Natural Resources Mykola Zlochevsky.
Biden is expected to discuss Ukraine issues with the leaders of the 'Group of Seven'.
