An FBI informant tied to a fake bribery scheme against the Biden family has been released from prison, raising concerns that President Donald Trump could pardon him. Alexander Smirnov pleaded guilty to making up a story that former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter had gotten millions of dollars in bribes from a Ukrainian energy company, but journalist Jacqueline Sweet reported on her Disaster Girl Substack page that he's apparently no longer serving a six-year prison term imposed days before Trump returned to office. Smirnov, who reportedly has ties to multiple Trump associates, pleaded guilty to making a false statement and tax evasion, and the Biden Justice Department deemed him too great a flight risk to be granted bail because of his extensive ties to Russian intelligence operatives.
