President Joe Biden is not happy…
In the wake of the federal indictment of informant Alexander Smirnov, President Biden is demanding Fox News issue retractions regarding its coverage of “bribery” allegations against the president and his son Hunter Biden.
Smirnov, who was originally a key informant behind Republicans' recent investigation into the Bidens, was recently indicted for lying to the FBI. (RELATED: FBI Informant Indicted Over Hunter Biden)
In a letter to Fox News Chief Executive Suzanne Scott, President Jay Wallace and Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton this week, White House spokesperson for investigations Ian Sams demanded the network make immediate changes:
We feel strongly that all Fox News Digital articles on this topic should at a minimum be updated with editor's notes informing readers that the source of this allegation has been federally indicted for making it up. We also feel strongly that Fox News Channel television personalities like Hannity and Watters, among others, should inform their viewers on air that they have been sharing a discredited allegation from a source who has been federally indicted for making it up.
A Fox spokesperson told Mediaite “FOX News Media has reported on all key developments since the announcement that Alexander Smirnov was charged with lying to the FBI, featuring the story prominently. We will continue to report on developments in all aspects of the ongoing investigations, hearings, and trials.”
