Hunter Biden is making explosive new allegations about one of the most controversial claims used against his father, arguing that key figures behind accusations of Biden family corruption had ties to Israeli intelligence.
In a surprising interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens, former President Joe Biden’s son claimed that the central allegations used to fuel the Republican impeachment inquiry were built around information provided by individuals he described as connected to Israeli intelligence operations.
The interview marked an unlikely pairing, with Owens having spent years publicly criticizing Hunter Biden over his drug addiction, business dealings, and personal scandals.
Hunter Targets Key Figures Behind Biden Corruption Allegations
Hunter pointed specifically to former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov and fugitive businessman Gal Luft, both of whom became central figures in allegations involving the Biden family.
“They’re the two principal individuals that made the only claim that people hung their hat on in Congress and elsewhere as it relates to my dad and corruption, bribery, and stuff like that,” Hunter told Owens.
He further alleged that Smirnov was “a known Israeli intelligence agent” and claimed Luft is currently living in Israel while avoiding U.S. authorities.
“Luft, who was a former IDF officer who is believed to be living in Israel as a fugitive, who the Israelis will not help us locate,” Hunter said.
Questions Raised About Smirnov
Smirnov became a central figure in Republican investigations after alleging that executives at Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid $5 million each to Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
The allegation became a major component of congressional efforts to investigate the Biden family.
However, Smirnov was later convicted of fabricating the bribery claims under the Biden administration.
He received a prison sentence in 2025.
Hunter claimed that Smirnov’s current whereabouts are unclear.
“He is on furlough, but no one knows where he’s been furloughed to, and the only passport that he has is an Israeli passport,” Hunter said.
The remarks appear likely to spark renewed debate over the origins of some of the claims that dominated political headlines during the Biden presidency.
Hunter Opens Up About Addiction and Personal Collapse
The interview also included some of Hunter Biden’s most candid comments yet regarding his struggles with crack cocaine addiction.
Looking back on the darkest period of his life, Hunter described his addiction as a prolonged act of self-destruction that he believes caused enormous pain to those around him.
“I was a coward,” Hunter told Owens.
“I didn’t go and just do it.”
“I said, let me do it this way and really really really drag everybody down with me along the way.
“Let me figure out the way not only to kill myself, but to maybe kill my dad, you know, really hurt my family.”
The comments offered a stark glimpse into the mindset of a man whose personal battles became front-page news during multiple election cycles.
