Former Epstein Attorney Reveals Names Of 2 Dems On ‘List’ Former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz named two former top Democratic officials on Sunday, whom he says appear in the Epstein files. Speaking to Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream, Dershowitz clarified that there was never an official “client list,” but noted that names can be uncovered through other means and that additional information is available. Dershowitz previously served on Jeffrey Epstein’s legal team during his 2008 case, in which Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor. “Are [the names] in the grand jury transcripts, and do you...

Former Harvard law professor and veteran trial attorney Alan Dershowitz — who represented notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his 2008 criminal case — said during a recent appearance on Fox News that at least two prominent Democrats are named in files relating to the case. While speaking with host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday,” Dershowitz stated that while the Epstein “client list” does not exist in the way it has been built up in some corners of the internet, there are other ways to reveal the names of individuals who were potentially involved in Epstein’s crimes. ““Are [the names]...

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...

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz on Thursday said he knows the list of names in the Jeffrey Epstein files regarding alleged clients in his international sex trafficking ring. “I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them,” Dershowitz said during an appearance on “The Sean Spicer Show.” “But I’m bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can’t disclose what I know,” he added, noting at one point he was falsely named as a client. The Trump administration vowed earlier this year to release the documents and names of individuals tied...

Last week, after months of mounting pressure and speculation, the Department of Justice and FBI released what they thought would be the final word on the Epstein scandal. In a memo that many are calling a whitewash, the DOJ declared there’s no evidence of a client list, no blackmail network, and no coordinated effort to silence Epstein. The backlash was immediate and fierce. If the Trump administration thought this would put the controversy to rest, it was dead wrong. Instead of closing the book, the memo has only reignited public outrage and deepened suspicions that powerful people are still being...

Famous lawyer and legal expert Alan Dershowitz revealed during an interview on pundit Sean Spicer’s program that he has seen the entire Epstein list and that the document is being suppressed to protect certain individuals. “Documents are being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them. But I’m bound by confidentiality,” he said. This bombshell comes just 24 hours after both the FBI and the Department of Justice came out and said there is no “client list.” According to a memo that came out on Wednesday,...

President Trump's Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a "client list" or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios. The administration is releasing a video — in both raw and "enhanced" versions — that it says indicates no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held the night he died in 2019. The video supports a medical examiner's finding that Epstein committed suicide, the two-page memo claims. Why it matters: The findings represent the...

Constitutional attorney Alan Dershowitz said Wednesday that the Supreme Court should have ruled unanimously in favor of Tennessee’s restrictions on child sex changes, calling it “a simple, simple, case.” The Supreme Court upheld SB1, which was passed by the Tennessee legislature in March 2023, in a 6-3 ruling released Wednesday morning. On “The Dershow,” Dershowitz expressed shock that it was a 6-3 decision. “The Supreme Court decided today in a six-to-three decision. [It’s] shocking to me it was six-to-three. It should have been nine-nothing, in a six-to-three decision, decided that a state, Tennessee, had the right to restrict certain kinds...

Constitutional attorney Alan Dershowitz said Wednesday the U.S. Supreme Court would issue a “divided” decision on President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). A divided three-judge panel from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a temporary injunction by United States District Judge James Boasberg of the District of Columbia issued March 15 that ordered the Trump administration to turn around two planes carrying members of the Venezuelan gang to El Salvador. Dershowitz said the Supreme Court would likely hear the case, but that neither...

Attorney Alan Dershowitz on Tuesday predicted that some of the “liberals” on the U.S. Supreme Court might join a ruling halting legal cases against President-elect Donald Trump. A New York appeals court on Tuesday denied Trump’s request to cancel his Jan. 10 sentencing hearing. Dershowitz predicted that concerns about “fairness and due process” in Trump’s trial would lead the more liberal justices on the Supreme Court to eventually join a ruling in Trump’s favor. “He probably didn’t even make the decision,” Dershowitz said about how the payments to former Trump attorney Michael Cohen were described. “The decision was made by...

Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump’s attorneys should seek a writ of mandamus to prevent Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg from drawing the case out. Bragg signed a legal filing opposing a motion by Trump’s attorneys to dismiss the case, instead urging New York Judge Juan Merchan to postpone sentencing until 2029, after Trump would leave office. Dershowitz accused Bragg of trying to “freeze” the case for his political gain. “You can’t unfreeze a case any more than you can unfreeze… a live human, human being. What’s the purpose of freezing the case? It’s so obvious...

On Monday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz reacted to 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris running ads with different messages on Israel aimed at different groups by stating that Harris “basically is saying there are fine people on both sides of what happened on October 7.” Dershowitz said, “Well, she basically is saying there are fine people on both sides of what happened on October 7. She has praised some of the protesters who have called Israel’s response genocide. It’s like saying there are fine people on the side of 9/11....

Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz criticized the Democrat Party for having hosted the “most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention” in August, adding that he was “no longer a Democrat.” During an interview with radio host Zev Brenner, Dershowitz spoke about how the Democrat Party had “more anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist” speakers, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at its convention in Chicago. Dershowitz went on to criticize President Joe Biden for stating that pro-Palestinian protesters “have a point,” and pointed out that Biden had pushed a hoax claiming that former President Donald Trump...

Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Thursday that he doubts a New York appellate court will overturn former President Donald Trump’s conviction in his Manhattan trial. …he believes appellate judges will be reluctant to overturn the jury’s decision because they might be biased against the former president. I don’t think it would be reversed by the appellate division,” Dershowitz continued. “These are judges who are terrified of being perceived of as helping Trump in any way. Don’t know whether or not the New York Court of Appeals in Albany will have the ability to not consider the impact it will...

“I'm going to predict that the first thing Trump does is fire his lawyers, which he should have done before the trial rather than after the trial," Dershowitz said on "The Record With Greta Van Susteren." His lawyers did not do a good job. And what worries me, as an appellate lawyer, is that they didn't do a good job preserving the record for appeal. They focused exclusively on the trial, which is what many trial lawyers erroneously do," Dershowitz said. "But you can't win an appeal if the lawyers below didn't create a record for appeal. And they didn't...

Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Wednesday that it is possible New York Judge Juan Merchan is not dismissing alternate jurors in order to deal with a holdout that will not convict former President Donald Trump. Merchan issued instructions to the jury of seven men and five women Wednesday, pointing them to some of the key evidence in the case prior to the panel beginning its deliberations. Dershowitz admitted he was speculating during Wednesday’s episode of “The Dershow” about Merchan’s reason for keeping the alternates available, but said he had seen a judge in an unrelated case make a similar...

It's no secret that Judge Juan Merchan is a partisan judge who has exhibited prejudicial behavior against Donald Trump in his Manhattan trial, but famed lawyer and law professor Alan Dershowitz had to see for himself. He attended the Trump trial on Monday and was appalled at what he saw.Dershowitz appeared on Sean Hannity's show on Fox News Monday evening, during which he destroyed Merchan for his conduct during the testimony of Michael Cohen's former lawyer, Bob Costello. It got extremely tense at times, and Merchan even cleared the courtroom before scolding Costello over his alleged violation of decorum. “I’d...

OJ Simpson’s attorney Alan Dershowitz said that he would have represented the alleged victims of the 1994 murder “if they had called me first." Dershowitz made the statement to Fox’s Sean Hannity on Thursday, following the news that Simpson had died from prostate cancer aged 76. “I want to send my sincerest condolences to the Goldman family, the Brown family. They’ve done a phenomenal job in standing up for their relatives, and if they had called me first before the OJ team called me, I probably would have represented the Goldman or the Brown family,” Dershowitz said, as earlier reported...

Who will guard against the corruption of some of America's guardians? No one, apparently. Not in Georgia anyway. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, adjudicating over the state's election interference case against Donald Trump, has essentially let District Attorney Fani Willis off the hook. Willis has been prosecuting the sprawling racketeering case against the former president and 18 other co-defendants. That was until proceedings were abruptly halted in early January when it was revealed that she had engaged in a secret romance with the special prosecutor she appointed for the trial. After weeks of silence, Willis and her now-former...
