The FBI informant who set off a firestorm by alleging that Joe and Hunter Biden took $10 million in bribes has been released from prison on medical furlough, his attorney tells The Post.
Alexander Smirnov pleaded guilty in December and received a six-year prison sentence for fabricating the story about the then-US president as well as a separate charge of tax evasion.
“Since Mr. Smirnov’s arrest, he has required crucial eye surgery which was denied to him for an extended period of time, which only exacerbated an already serious condition,” his lawyer David Chesnoff said.
Smirnov’s tip about the Bidens involved the Ukraine-based energy company Burisma, which paid Hunter Biden a salary of up to $1 million to serve on its board as his then-VP dad led the Obama administration’s policy toward Kyiv.
The allegation, aired by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), ultimately undermined the House Republican case to impeach then-President Biden for his many documented interactions with his son Hunter and brother James Biden’s foreign patrons in countries such as China, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
