"Re-arrest of Ex-FBI Informant Linked to Bidens Sparks Controversy"
TL;DR
Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant charged with lying about a bribery scheme involving Joe Biden's family, was arrested again in Las Vegas after being released by a judge. He is accused of making false statements and creating a fictitious record. Prosecutors appealed the judge's ruling to release him with a GPS monitor. Smirnov, who claims to have links to Russian intelligence, was taken into custody on a warrant issued in California for the same charges. His lawyers have requested an immediate hearing on his detention and will push for his release.
