Add The New York Post on Google Former first son Hunter Biden wildly claimed that Israeli intelligence was behind the Ukraine corruption allegations against him and former President Joe Biden in a new interview with Candace Owens.
The 56-year-old pointed claimed that two Israeli-American citizens, disgraced FBI informant Alexander Smirnov and fugitive Gal Luft, were at the heart of the allegations that resulted in years-long investigations of the first family as part of a nearly two hours interview with Owens.
“They’re the two principal individuals that made the only claim that people hung their hat in — in Congress and elsewhere as it relates to my dad and corruption, bribery,” Biden claimed.
Owens has a history of peddling conspiracy theories and is a virulent critic is Israel.
She was named “Antisemite of the Year” by watchdog group StopAntisemitism.
Smirnov and Luft were both central players in the House GOP’s failed impeachment effort against President Biden in 2023.
Smirnov falsely claimed that Joe Biden and Hunter received a $10 million bribe from a Ukrainian businessman when the elder Biden was vice president.
Smirnov later admitted that it was an explosive lie, and he was jailed to a multi-year sentence.
Luft, who claimed the first family received payments from individuals with ties to the Chinese military, was indicted in 2022 on federal arms trafficking charges.
He was arrested in Cyprus, but fled while on bail before he was extradicted to the US.
Hunter pointed out that Luft is a former Israel Defense Forces officer who is believed to be living in Israel as a fugitive and claimed the “Israelis will not help us locate.”
He also claimed Smirnov is a “known Israeli intelligence agent.”

“Who was in a prison in the United States serving six years and they can’t find him. Bureau prison can’t find him in the prison, he is on furlough, but no one knows where he’s been furloughed to,” Hunter said before adding.
“The only passport he has is an Israeli passport.”
Smirnov’s lawyer told The Post last November his client was released from prison on medical furlough tied to a worsening eye condition.
“There are forces that I used to say, ‘oh this is bulls—t,” he said before asking Owens if she read The Devil’s Chessboard about the CIA’s powerful and secretive rise.
The Biden family faced series of corruption allegations dating back to the Democrat’s run for the White House in 2020, including contents of the infamous laptop, which The Post explosively broke the news about.
