(5MinNewsBreak.com) – Adding fuel to the huge firestorm surrounding the Biden family’s corruption, former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov has been indicted on new tax evasion charges.
Smirnov previously disclosed that Joe and Hunter Biden accepted $5 million each from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.
The FBI informant is now accused of concealing millions in income from the IRS between 2020 and 2022.
The timing of these new charges has raised eyebrows among conservatives who see it as an attempt to discredit a potential witness against the Bidens.
While prosecutors allege that Smirnov’s claims about the Bidens were false, the former informant has pleaded not guilty and remains in pretrial detention.
Attorney David Chesnoff has vowed to “vigorously defend” Smirnov against all charges, suggesting there may be more to this story than meets the eye.
The controversy surrounding Smirnov’s allegations has been key to Republican efforts to probe the Biden family’s international business dealings.
GOP investigators used the bribery allegations in their impeachment efforts against Joe, highlighting the significance of Smirnov’s testimony.
The new tax evasion charges claim that Smirnov spent his undeclared income on luxury items, an allegation designed to paint him as an unreliable witness.
However, it has been revealed that the source of these funds is linked to Economic Transformation Technologies Corporation, and there is no indication that the company has committed any wrongdoing.
Smirnov’s trial on false statements charges has been delayed until January, giving his defense team more time to prepare.
Meanwhile, Special Counsel David Weiss, who secured a conviction against Hunter on gun charges and a guilty plea for tax fraud, has faced criticism over his handling of the investigation.
The collapse of a plea deal for Hunter led to multiple gun and tax charges and resulted in convictions.
Mainstream media outlets have also labeled Smirnov a “fraudster,” which seems suspiciously convenient for those seeking to discredit his testimony.
It is crucial to remember that allegations of fraud do not necessarily discredit the corruption allegations against the Bidens, especially given the amount of damning evidence.
