"Biden Bribery Accuser Rearrested Amid Controversy"

FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, accused of fabricating a $10 million bribery allegation against President Biden and Hunter Biden, was rearrested under "bizarre circumstances" two days after his release from jail. His lawyers called the re-arrest a violation of his Sixth Amendment rights and demanded an emergency detention hearing in the US District Court for the District of Nevada. The charges against Smirnov are related to alleged false statements documented by the FBI, and prosecutors argue that he holds a bias against the president and is actively peddling new lies that could impact US elections.

"Hunter Biden's Gun Pouch: Cocaine Residue and Federal Prosecutors' Opposition"

Federal prosecutors are rejecting Hunter Biden's attempts to dismiss gun charges, citing overwhelming evidence including cocaine residue found on a leather pouch used to hold his gun. The prosecutors argue that Hunter Biden's claims of being singled out for political reasons are unfounded, and point to incriminating statements about his drug use in a 2021 memoir. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to federal gun charges, which accuse him of lying about using drugs on a gun purchase form in 2018. He has acknowledged struggling with a crack cocaine addiction during that period, but his attorneys maintain his innocence.
