TL;DR Summary

Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant charged with lying about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, has been re-arrested by federal authorities after admitting that some information about Hunter Biden came from officials associated with Russian intelligence. Smirnov had been ordered released under conditions including GPS monitoring, but prosecutors asked a federal judge to detain him, stating that he is actively peddling new lies that could impact U.S. elections after meeting with Russian intelligence officials in November. Smirnov's attorneys claim he was rearrested while meeting with them, contradicting the notion that he is a risk of flight.
