Leaked FBI File Claims Alan Dershowitz Has Mossad Ties Via Epstein

This is an FBI FD-1023 Confidential Human Source (CHS) reporting document dated October 19, 2020 (based on contact from October 16, 2020), from the Los Angeles Field Office, unclassified and released as part of the massive Jeffrey Epstein files by the U.S. Department of Justice in late January 2026.

Key allegations from the confidential source:

• Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz allegedly influenced wealthy students (e.g., Josh and Jared Kushner) from prominent families at Harvard.
• Alan Dershowitz reportedly told the source that if he were younger, he’d be “holding a stun gun” as a Mossad (Israeli intelligence) agent; the source believed Dershowitz was “co-opted by Mossad” and aligned with their mission.
• Dershowitz represented Jeffrey Epstein and allegedly told then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (during Epstein’s 2008 plea deal) that Epstein “belonged to both U.S. and allied intelligence services.”
• The source claimed to have overheard or noted phone calls between Dershowitz and Epstein, after which Mossad would debrief Dershowitz.
• Epstein was described as close to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, allegedly “trained as a spy under him,” leading the source to conclude Epstein was a “co-opted Mossad Agent.”
• Additional context ties into broader foreign influence concerns (Israel, Russia, UAE, etc.) on U.S. officials/electoral processes, with mentions of Saudi/UAE figures questioning Epstein and geopolitical alignments (e.g., against Qatar, Turkey, Iran).

Is the Epstein File real?

Yes, the FBI FD-1023 document is authentic and was officially released by the U.S. Department of Justice on January 30, 2026, as part of a massive 3-million-page dump of Jeffrey Epstein-related files.

It originates from an October 2020 FBI interview with a confidential human source (CHS) during an investigation into potential foreign influence on U.S. elections and processes.

However, the allegations within—such as Alan Dershowitz’s purported Mossad ties, Epstein’s intelligence connections, and links to figures like Ehud Barak—are unverified, second-hand claims from the anonymous source, with no corroborating evidence provided.

Dershowitz and others mentioned have strongly denied the claims, calling them “absurd.”

The DOJ has emphasized that such reports reflect raw, unevaluated intelligence, not proven facts.

The document is second-hand claims from a single confidential informant (CHS), documented during an investigation into potential foreign influence.
