Key Informant who lied in Biden impeachment indicted on 10 tax fraud charges

Raw Story  

A key informant for House Republicans' impeachment case against President Joe Biden has been indicted again, reported NBC News — this time on 10 charges of tax fraud. According to the report, federal prosecutors said that Alexander Smirnov received more than $2 million in income from "multiple sources in 2020, 2021, and 2022” and bought “a $1.4 million Las Vegas condominium, a Bentley, and hundreds of thousands of dollars of clothes, jewelry and accessories for himself and Domestic Partner purchased at high-end retailers in Los Angeles and Las Vegas" — all while concealing this money from the IRS. Before that indictment, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan claimed that Smirnov's testimony was the "heart" of the case for impeaching Biden. The GOP for years has pursued a theory that Biden laundered international bribes through the overseas business dealings of his son, although the impeachment inquiry started after the GOP took control of the House in 2022 failed to find any compelling evidence that the president was involved in his son's projects or engaged in illegal activity through them.
