Dershowitz justifies Senate not calling witnesses: ‘Can’t introduce evidence if there’s no legitimate indictment’
by Madison Dibble
 | February 02, 2020 10:22 AM



Attorney and White House defense team member Alan Dershowitz defended the Senate’s decision not to hear from additional witnesses during President Trump's impeachment trial.

Dershowitz, 81, argued that the foundation for the House's impeachment was illegitimate and did not require additional testimony from witnesses during an interview on Fox News Sunday. The Constitutional scholar said the Senate was justified in its decision to ignore revelations from John Bolton because he doesn’t believe anything the former national security adviser claimed about Trump was an impeachable offense.

“If somebody were accused of the crime of abuse of power or dishonesty, something that’s not a crime, what you do is make a motion to dismiss,” Dershowitz explained. “And the other side says, ‘No, we want to introduce evidence.’ No, no, no, no. You can’t introduce evidence if there’s no legitimate indictment.”

He continued, “Here, the articles of impeachment did not charge an impeachable offense. So the right answer is to dismiss it and cut it off right there. No amount of witnesses could have changed that conclusion.”
