Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said Sunday he could be called as a witness in President Donald Trump’s suit against The Wall Street Journal, arguing that he could help “prove malice” in the case.
Trump announced he’d filed suit against the WSJ and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, Friday over an article that claimed he sent disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy letter celebrating his birthday. Dershowitz told “Sunday Agenda” host Lidia Curanaj he also was contacted by the WSJ over a letter he reportedly sent, which the outlet couldn’t produce.
“I’ll probably be called as a witness in the case, because they also called me, and they said that you wrote him a letter with a mock cover of Vanity Fair,” Dershowitz told Curanaj. “And I said, ‘I may have, I don’t remember, this was 23 years ago. Just send me a copy of the letter with my signature and I’ll tell you whether it’s authentic or not,’ and they said they couldn’t do it.”
“And so they published the story without authenticating it with me, and that will be an important point in trying to prove malice, so I suspect I will be a witness if this case ever goes to trial,” Dershowitz continued.
Trump secured a $15 million settlement with ABC in December 2024 after he sued the outlet March 19, 2024, for defamation over comments made by “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos during a contentious March 10 appearance by Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina. CBS settled a $10 billion lawsuit filed by Trump over the editing of an October 2024 interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, who was Trump’s opponent in the 2024 presidential election, drawing criticism from inside the company.
Some of President Donald Trump’s supporters have criticized him and Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files, with the president being “ratioed” on Truth Social over the matter, Newsweek reported. Trump fired back at the critics in a Wednesday post on Truth Social and also defended Bondi in a lengthy statement posted July 12 on the site.
Trump announced in a Thursday night Truth Social post he was asking Bondi to seek permission from the courts to release the grand jury transcripts from the Epstein case. Bondi said in a response posted on X that DOJ would move to unseal the documents Friday.

I’ve never trusted Dershowitz....and he was epsteins attorney?....no thanks.
Yeah, this is a big one.
WSJ can’t prove the provenance of an article used to defame POTUS and published with malice.
Even a settlement will exceed a billion.
Go woke, go broke. Ask National Review.
You can trust Dershowitz. When he was Epstein‘s lawyer, 23 years ago, Epstein was just another rich man you can say what you wanna say about Dershwitz, but he does not lie.
That’s ridiculous. Everyone should be able to get the help of an attorney, & from what I’ve heard from Dershowitz, that’s essentially why he took Epstein’s case.
People are forgetting our history, with John Adams stepping in to defend British soldiers. And good on Dershowitz for doing this, when lawyers have been stepping away from working for Conservatives because Lefties go after them. And PUNISH them - John Eastman is an example.
And he was Trump’s no.1 attorney. Yes.
My apologies for the double post.
I think Dersh is OK.
Trump is gonna have the most spectacular presidential library ever constructed.
He got massages on Epstein owned property.
That girl came out yesterday claiming just her Epstein abusers were Jewish supremists
Wasn’t too complimentary of Dershowitz
He does not strike me as craving teen girls though
But he’s inconsistent on the Epstein stuff
If there was any truth to that the left would have put Dersh in prison after Dersh started supporting Trump.
If true, that sounds like there is leverage that can be applied from both sides..
Unless they can provide the original card/book that had Trumps’ supposed card, the WSJ will have a hard time defending themselves.
Never get in bed with the Dersh. Literally or figuratively.
Why not?
