"DOJ Seeks Jail for Indicted Ex-Informant in Hunter Biden Case with Russian Intelligence Ties"

Special counsel David Weiss has requested a California judge to revoke the release of indicted ex-FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who is facing charges of lying to the FBI about the Biden family’s Ukraine dealings, citing concerns about his ties to foreign intelligence officials and access to significant amounts of cash. Smirnov's lawyers deny any intention of fleeing the country, while prosecutors argue that he should not be trusted due to his history of lying to his FBI handler and his extensive contacts in Russia and elsewhere.
