Adding Alan Dershowitz to Trump's legal team would be a mistake
by Kaylee McGhee
December 12, 2019 01:07 PM President Trump is reportedly considering adding Alan Dershowitz to his legal team as the Democratic Party’s impeachment case moves to trial in the Senate. Doing so would be a mistake.
If the White House does recruit Dershowitz, Trump might just be the least controversial client the Harvard emeritus professor has represented. Some of his clients, such as Claus von Bulow, O.J. Simpson, Mike Tyson, and most recently, Jeffrey Epstein, raise concerning questions about Dershowitz’s legal prudence and his personal relations.
The most troubling is Dershowitz’s relationship with Epstein, the deceased financier accused of sexually abusing and trafficking dozens of young women. It's not just that he represented Epstein, but that one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, has claimed that Epstein forced her to have sex with Dershowitz. Others have alleged Dershowitz was one of the many prominent acquaintances who traveled with Epstein to the financier’s many mansions.
