The Federal Rules of Evidence generally exclude hearsay statements unless they fall within an exception. Hearsay is an out-of-court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted, and it is generally considered unreliable evidence due to its potential for distortion or inaccuracy.

States vary in their hearsay laws; however, all states allow for some exceptions to the rule against hearsay. It's best to consult the specific laws of the state in question for more detailed information.
Hearsay
No, since the question presumes the evidence is hearsay; therefore it is inadmissible even if the witness had the highest degree of credibility. There are many exceptions to the hearsay rule and many instances where an out of court statement seems to be inadmissible hearsay but is not (i.e. non hearsay hearsay), that it serves no purpose to provide facts that would allow the statement to be used at trial. If the question posed more facts than just the statement that the evidence is hearsay, they would show whether the statement is admissible under an exception or as non hearsay hearsay. Once the statement is admitted as evidence it would be up to the jury to determine if the witness is believable.

Hearsay involves relaying information that was heard from someone else and is typically not admissible as evidence in court due to reliability concerns. To prove the elements of bribery, direct evidence or corroborating evidence is typically required.
Evidence based on hearsay
The prosecutor must disclose exculpatory information to the defense as part of due process. This includes evidence that could be used to exonerate the defendant or undermine the prosecution's case. Failure to disclose such information may violate the defendant's rights.
