(AmericanProsperity.com) – The FBI informant at the center of bribery allegations against President Joe Biden and his son Hunter now faces new tax evasion charges.
Alexander Smirnov, who revealed that the Bidens accepted $5 million from Ukrainian energy company Burisma, has been indicted.
Prosecutors claim Smirnov concealed millions in income from the IRS between 2020 and 2022, spending it on luxury items.
The source of the funds in question is linked to Economic Transformation Technologies Corporation, though there are no indications of wrongdoing by the company.
As of now, Smirnov has pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in pretrial detention. His attorney, David Chesnoff, stated that Smirnov will “vigorously defend against the charges.”
The case has taken a complex turn as prosecutors now claim that Smirnov’s allegations about the Bidens were documented in an FBI FD 1023 form.
Congressional Republicans later used this form to launch a bribery probe against the Bidens.
While Smirnov’s defense team argues that the case against him is politically biased, prosecutors assert his claims are baseless.
Smirnov’s defense has denied the allegations that he had contacts with foreign intelligence, including Russian agencies.
However, these claims have fueled speculation about potential foreign interference in U.S. political affairs.
As the legal proceedings against Smirnov continue, his trial on false statements charges has been delayed until January.
Still, millions of Americans are left wondering about the true extent of the Biden family’s involvement in corrupt business practices.
Despite the doubts surrounding Smirnov’s credibility, the scrutiny on Hunter has only intensified.
Special Counsel David Weiss, who faced criticism for his handling of the Hunter investigation, secured a conviction against Hunter on gun charges and a guilty plea for tax fraud.
A previous plea deal for Hunter collapsed, which saw him getting multiple gun and tax charges that ended in convictions.
