"FBI Arrests Informant for Lying About Bidens' Ukraine Business"
TL;DR Summary
The FBI informant at the center of Republicans' "Biden crime family" allegations, Alexander Smirnov, has been arrested for fabricating claims about Hunter Biden's involvement with a Ukrainian energy company. The informant's false allegations, which were heavily promoted by Fox News and Republican politicians, had fueled accusations of corruption against Joe Biden. Despite the informant's arrest, the right-wing media continues to push other storylines related to the Bidens, but official investigations have found no evidence tying Joe Biden to any wrongdoing.
