FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE

ARTICLE VIII. HEARSAY 

Rule 806. Attacking and Supporting Credibility of Declarant

When a hearsay statement, or a statement defined in Rule 801(d)(2),(C),(D), or (E) ,
has been admitted in evidence, the credibility of the declarant may be attacked, and if
attacked may be supported, by any evidence which would be admissible for those
purposes if declarant had testified as a witness. Evidence of a statement or conduct by
the declarant at any time, inconsistent with the declarant's hearsay statement, is not
subject to any requirement that the declarant may have been afforded an opportunity
to deny or explain. If the party against whom a hearsay statement has been admitted
calls the declarant as a witness, the party is entitled to examine the declarant on the
statement as if under cross-examination.
