Alan Dershowitz: Trump 'should not be subject to criminal prosecution'

Alan Dershowitz, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, argued Monday that Trump should not face any criminal penalty just because he fired former FBI Director James Comey.
"The president of the United States should not be subject to criminal prosecution for merely exercising his constitutional authority," he said on CNN.
"In the absence of any statute to the contrary, the president has the authority fire the director of the FBI, and the president has the power tell the director of the FBI who to investigate, who not to investigate," he added.
