Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant, has been sentenced to six years in prison for fabricating bribery allegations against President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. The false claims, which suggested that executives at the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid both Bidens $5 million each, were central to a Republican impeachment effort. Smirnov pleaded guilty to tax evasion and lying to authorities regarding the alleged bribery scheme. Prosecutors had requested the six-year sentence, which was imposed by a judge on January 9, 2025.
