The indicted decade-long former FBI informant accused of lodging false bribery allegations against President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden filed a “legally flawed, rambling and disorganized” demand for discovery, whether for “information that does not exist,” evidence that has already been shared with the defense, or documents that he isn’t legally entitled to receive.

Two weeks ago, the defense for Alexander Smirnov, headed up by Robert Durst attorney David Chesnoff, asked U.S. District Judge Otis Wright II to order special counsel David Weiss and his team of prosecutors to hand over discovery, claiming that government refused to “[c]ountenance” his requests for the return of his phone, a “positive independent photographic identification” of his “FBI handler,” State Department records underlying the New York Times’ August article “Hunter Biden Sought State Department Help for Ukrainian Company,” and more.
