Confidant accused of false testimony against Biden has ties to Russian intelligence. Prosecutors believe Smirnov is trying to interfere in the US elections with his lies to the FBI about the president.
Russia appears 170 times in a 28-page document registered this Thursday before the court in Las Vegas. Judge Daniel Albregts, however, has ignored the requests for preventive detention and has allowed SmirNov to be released under electronic surveillance with a device located by GPS. When leaving the court, he had his face covered so that he would not be recognized.
