House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan , left, and House Oversight Committee chair James Comer , who are leading the House Oversight investigation into the business dealings of the Biden family, at the Rayburn House Office Building on Dec. 13, 2023.Special counsel David Weiss, the U.S.

When FBI agents followed up with Smirnov last September, he allegedly “repeated some of his false claims, changed his story as to other of his claims, and promoted a new false narrative after he said he met with Russian officials.” He claimed Russians may have recordings of Hunter Biden, described as “Businessperson 1” in the indictment, at a hotel in Ukraine and that the audio could somehow be used as leverage for ending the war.

“To be clear, the impeachment inquiry is not reliant on the FBI’s FD-1023,” Comer said, referring to the FBI’s name for documents filed by handlers of confidential sources. “It is based on a large record of evidence, including bank records and witness testimony, revealing that Joe Biden knew of and participated in his family’s business dealings.”

As House Judiciary chair Jim Jordan said on Fox News last month, “The most corroborating evidence we have is the 1023 form from this highly credible confidential human source.”At HuffPost, we believe that everyone needs high-quality journalism, but we understand that not everyone can afford to pay for expensive news subscriptions.
