Alexander Smirnov, a former FBI informant already facing charges related to alleged false claims about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, has been indicted on additional tax-related charges, according to court records unsealed Tuesday in California federal court.

The new indictment alleges that Smirnov evaded taxes on more than $2 million in income from various sources between 2020 and 2022. Prosecutors claim Smirnov used this income to fund a lavish lifestyle, including the purchase of a $1.4 million Las Vegas condominium, a leased Bentley worth over $122,000, and hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on luxury clothing, jewelry, and accessories for himself and his partner.

Despite these expenditures, Smirnov allegedly reported only $60,000 in total annual income and $250,000 in gross business income on a 2022 credit card application. Prosecutors further allege that when Smirnov hired a professional tax preparer, he instructed them not to question the sources of his income and to delete any communications related to his returns after refusing to sign them.

These new charges come as Smirnov prepares to face trial in January in Los Angeles on accusations that he fabricated claims about President Biden and Hunter Biden accepting $5 million in bribes from Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Those allegations have been a focal point for Republican efforts to investigate and impeach the president. Smirnov has pleaded not guilty to those charges, and his trial was recently rescheduled by the federal judge overseeing the case.

The mounting legal issues for Smirnov paint a picture of a high-stakes battle involving alleged financial misconduct and politically charged accusations, with significant implications for his credibility as a former informant.
