A. Applicable Law Under Rule 801(d)(1)(B) of the Federal Rules of Evidence, a prior statement is not hearsay if the declarant testifies and is subject to cross examination about the statement, the statement is consistent with the declarant's testimony, and the statement is offered either \"(i) to rebut an express or implied charge that the declarant recently fabricated it or acted from a recent improper influence or motive in so testifying; or (ii) to rehabilitate the declarant's credibility as a witness when attacked on another ground.\" Notably, \"the prior consistent statement need not be proffered through the testimony of the declarant but may be proffered through any witness who has firsthand knowledge of the statement.\" United States v.

Prior to 2014, a witness's prior consistent statement was only permitted to rebut a charge of recent fabrication that postdated the prior consistent statement. See Tome v. United States, 513 U.S. 150, 156 (1995). Many courts, however, including the Second Circuit, had developed 17 DOJ-OGR-00005411",
