This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ohio congressman Jim Jordan could face major repercussions over the Republican attempt to impeach Joe Biden after a former FBI informant charged with making false bribery claims against the president was accused of using Russian intelligence, legal experts suggest.
The highly disputed claims that Biden financially benefited from his son's foreign business dealings while he was vice president, including accusations of taking bribes, have been cited by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jordan and other Republican figures in their impeachment proceedings.
A number of legal experts and Democratic figures have now suggested Jordan and other Republicans could face consequences if it is found Russian intelligence was the source of the alleged false bribery claims they said justified the impeachment of Biden.
Maryland rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, had previously called on the GOP to drop their impeachment case against Biden following news of Smirnov's indictment for allegedly lying about the bribery claim.
The court filings about Smirnov's apparent dealings with Russian intelligence officials were submitted as the government tried to argue he should remain in custody following his arrest on February 14 at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel Albregts allowed Smirnov to be freed from custody on Tuesday with pre-trial conditions, including that he must remain in Nevada's Clarke County and that he must not try to apply for a new Israeli passport after volunteering to hand his current one over to authorities.
