With a central informant who provided evidence backing the Biden impeachment investigation arrested for lying to the FBI, House Republicans are scrambling to justify their ongoing probe. The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), put out a statement on Friday evening distancing itself from any claims that the informant, Alexander Smirnov, had made.
