Former FBI informant will be sentenced for bogus bribery claim about President Biden and son Hunter

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Prosecutors will ask a judge on Wednesday for six years in prison for a former FBI informant whose bogus story about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter accepting bribes became central to Republicans’ impeachment effort. Prosecutors noted that Smirnov’s false claim “set off a firestorm in Congress” when it resurfaced years later as part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden, a Democrat who defeated Republican then-President Donald Trump in 2020. “He repaid the trust the United States placed in him to be a law-abiding naturalized citizen and, more specifically, that one of its premier law enforcement agencies placed in him to tell the truth as a confidential human source, by attempting to interfere in a Presidential election.” Smirnov was arrested last February in the case accusing him of lying to the FBI, and prosecutors in November brought new tax charges alleging he concealed millions of dollars of income he earned between 2020 and 2022. But he was pardoned by his father, who said he believed “raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice.” In seeking a lighter sentence, Smirnov’s lawyers wrote in court papers that both Hunter Biden and President-elect Trump — who was charged in two federal cases by a different special counsel — “have walked free and clear of any meaningful punishment.” Special counsel Jack Smith abandoned the two federal cases against Trump — accusing him of conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss and hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida — after Trump’s presidential victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in November.
