"FBI Informant Rearrested Over Biden Lies Amid Fears of Fleeing"
TL;DR
A federal judge in California issued a warrant for the rearrest of former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who is charged with making false allegations about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. The judge ordered the rearrest over fears that Smirnov was likely planning to flee the United States, after he was initially released with a GPS monitor. Smirnov's alleged lies were at the center of the House Republicans' impeachment inquiry, and prosecutors claim he is actively peddling new lies that could impact U.S. elections after meeting with Russian intelligence officials.
