Ex-informant accused of lying and having ties to Russia

Season 2024 Episode 53 | 8m 22s

An ex-informant charged with lying to the FBI about President Biden recently told law enforcement he’s been in contact with Russian operatives. Prosecutors say the informant's story of a Ukrainian energy firm bribing President Biden and his son is a complete fabrication and is being used to interfere in U.S. elections. Laura Barrón-López discussed the developments with Ryan Goodman.
