The former FBI informant who fabricated claims about President Biden and his son Hunter Biden accepting bribes was sentenced Wednesday to six years in prison, according to court documents.  Alexander Smirnov, a dual U.S. and Israeli citizen, pleaded guilty in mid-December to four counts for falsifying statements, in part, that spearheaded a Republican congressional probe into the Biden family. Apart from lying to the FBI, Smirnov also pleaded guilty to unrelated tax evasion counts for concealing millions in income.  Smirnov told the FBI that the head of Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company, informed him that he paid both Bidens $5 million, a false claim that was significant within the House GOP’s investigation into the Biden family.  The ex-informant admitted to giving “false derogatory information” about the commander-in-chief and Hunter Biden.  He will get credit for the time he spent in prison since February 2024. That month, he was arrested and charged with making false statements.  “As alleged in the indictment, the events that Smirnov first reported to the FBI Agent in June 2020 were fabrications,” the Justice Department (DOJ) said at the time.  In late November 2024, Smirnov was indicted on tax fraud charges, including two counts of tax evasion and eight related to making false statements in a tax return. Special counsel David Weiss brought the case against Smirnov, the same federal prosecutor who prosecuted Hunter Biden on tax and gun charges.  The court recommended that Smirnov be in consideration for the Bureau of Prison's Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), court records showed.
