Dershowitz: Manafort, Trump 'acted too late' to avoid consequences of cooperation with Mueller investigation
By Brett Samuels - 09/16/18 11:19 AM EDT
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said Sunday that both President Trump and his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, "acted too late" to avoid the possible consequences of Manafort's cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
"Manafort, if he was going to make a deal, should’ve made it before he was convicted. He would’ve gotten a better deal," Dershowitz said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"And President Trump, if he was going to pardon, he should’ve pardoned before Manafort agreed to cooperate," he added. "So there’s not going to be any pardon now, and Manafort’s has a deal. His sentence will reflect how much cooperation he gives."
