The indictment alleges that Smirnov lied about the meetings he did have with Burisma, and lied about what Burisma officials told him.
But the citations of the article simply omit mention of Rudy.
And the original FD1023 that you're referring as information was mentioned about Hunter Bidden and the board of Burisma, how did that information come to your office? A At a high level, we had asked the FBI to look through their files for any information again, limited scope, right? And by 'limited,' I mean, no grand jury tools. So one of the things we could do was ask the FBI to identify certain things that was information brought to us. One was just asking to search their files for Burisma, instances of Burisma or Hunter Biden. That 1023 was identified because of that discreet statement that just identified Hunter Biden serving on the Burisma board. That was in a file in the Washington Field Office. And so, once we identified that, we asked to see that 1023. That's when we made the determination and the request to reinterview the CHS and led to this 1023. [my emphasis]
