Former FBI informant accused of lying about Joe and Hunter Biden arrested again. Alexander Smirnov made his first appearance in federal court in Las Vegas, but his case will be tried in California.
His lawyers wrote that he was "arrested a second time" while he was at his "lawyers' office for meetings" They said the fact that he met with his lawyers when he was rearrested "contradicts the idea that he is a flight risk" The office of special counsel David Weiss did not respond to a request for comment.
