A Los Angeles federal judge decided that Alexander Smirnov must remain in detention while he awaits trial on charges of lying to federal agents and falsifying records about the alleged business dealings of President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
Mr. Smirnov asked the judge in downtown Los Angeles to grant him bail, but U.S. District Judge Otis Wright II said he couldn’t find conditions that would ensure he would appear for future court dates, according to the City News Service.
