Justice Department special counsel David Weiss indicted an ex-FBI informant on Thursday evening for allegedly lying about President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden's involvement with Burisma, a Ukrainian energy firm. Alexander Smirnov, 43, was arrested on Wednesday at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas after a federal grand jury in California returned the indictment. His arrest and charges was a major setback for House Republicans' ongoing impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, as GOP investigators have touted Smirnov's claims for months.
