Almost 20 years ago, Professor John Mearsheimer published a paper and later a book called ‘The Israel Lobby & US Foreign Policy.’ It’s now considered to be a seminal text on the outsized impact of lobbyists and think-tanks who skew US foreign policy in Israel’s national interest and not their own.

Mearsheimer and his co-author were - unusually for two unassuming academics - hit with a barrage of negative media stories and accusations of antisemitism. And leaked emails now show that one of the people colluding over these talking points to discredit John Mearsheimer was, along with his lawyer Alan Dershowitz, none other than Jeffrey Epstein.

The question, of course, is why?

Piers Morgan speaks to John Mearsheimer, before being joined by Alan Dershowitz.
