Jim Jordan Affirms “Four Fundamental Facts” About Bidens Amidst FBI Informant Indictment
In the midst of an indictment against Alexander Smirnov, a long-time FBI informant, for allegedly concocting a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, Republican Representative Jim Jordan emphasized that the charges do not alter the “four fundamental facts” tied to Burisma Holdings. The Ukrainian gas company had Hunter Biden on its board, and Joe Biden advocated for the removal of prosecutor Viktor Shokin during his vice presidency.

Jordan outlined the facts as follows: Hunter Biden’s unqualified placement on Burisma’s board, the executives seeking his intervention in D.C., and Joe Biden conditioning aid on the firing of the prosecutor. Despite Smirnov’s indictment and claims of contacts with Russian intelligence, Jordan contends that these revelations do not deviate from the core issues surrounding the Bidens’ involvement with Burisma. The Ohio Republican insists that Smirnov’s case is “what it is” but doesn’t alter the underlying narrative of the Bidens’ connections to the Ukrainian company.
