The Department of Justice has charged Alexander Smirnov with making false statements and obstruction as it relates to Smirnov’s conversations with law enforcement officials about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Significantly, Smirnov was responsible for many of the statements House Republicans have relied upon when pushing the impeachment inquiry against President Biden. Specifically, Smirnov allegedly lied about the extent of Hunter Biden’s relationship with Burisma, a Ukrainian company.
