GOP stands by probe despite doubts on key FBI informant
-
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is standing by the decision to investigate claims from now-indicted FBI informant Alexander Smirnov.
-
Smirnov was arrested for making false statements about alleged Biden family bribery involving Burisma Holdings. His claims now appear dubious.
-
Republicans had pushed to obtain Smirnov's FBI form containing the unverified bribery allegations.
-
White House spokesman said Smirnov's indictment shows House Republicans are chasing baseless allegations and should focus on real issues.
-
Comer downplayed Smirnov's importance, saying impeachment probe will leave no stone unturned, including recent interviews with Jason Galanis and Tony Bobulinski.
