- Republican Representative Ken Buck criticized colleagues Jordan and Comer for pushing a narrative based on uncorroborated claims by witness Alexander Smirnov.
- Buck revealed that warnings about Smirnov’s credibility were given before the narrative was promoted.
- He emphasized the lack of a credible link between Hunter Biden’s activities and Joe Biden’s involvement.
- Buck, drawing on his experience as a prosecutor, highlighted the importance of evidence before making public statements.
- The GOP impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden collapsed after Smirnov, its main witness, was indicted for lying to the FBI.
- Smirnov reportedly confessed to Russian intelligence involvement in the smear campaign against Biden.
- Despite this setback, Republicans, including Jordan, are still trying to revive the probe, insisting that Smirnov’s indictment doesn’t alter the “fundamental facts.”
