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]...

I was his lawyer. I know things that court orders won’t allow me to disclose.I was Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer. I know the facts, some of which I can’t disclose because it is privileged or subject to court-imposed sealing orders. But what I can disclose makes several important things clear: Epstein never created a “client list.” The FBI interviewed alleged victims who named several “clients.” These names have been redacted. They should be disclosed but the courts have ordered them sealed. I know who they are. They don’t include any current officeholders. We don’t know whether the accusations are true. The...

Today’s Wall Street Journal carries Alan Dershowitz’s column “The inside scoop on Jeffrey Epstein.” He was Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer. That’s his opening sentence. He knows the facts. That’s his second sentence. Some of what he knows he can’t disclose because it is privileged (he doesn’t say the privilege is, but I assume attorney-client — the privilege survives the client’s death). That’s the third sentence. These are the takeaways from the column mixed with a few comments of my own. • Epstein never created a “client list.” The FBI interviewed alleged victims who named several “clients.” These names have been redacted...

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,...

Constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz predicted on Monday that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit against President Donald Trump over the Los Angeles riots will go down in flames, just like his city. Speaking on his program “The Dershow,” Dershowitz expressed doubt that the U.S. Supreme Court would “second guess” Trump’s decision to federalize thousands of California National Guardsmen and deploy them to the epicenters of riots taking place across L.A. Gavin quickly sued Trump, accusing the president of “unlawfully” ordering soldiers under his control to put down the unrest. “The Supreme Court will not second-guess the President of the United States on...

As much as Abrego Garcia's lawyers and supporters may have fought for him to return, Alan Dershowitz, who has been a defense attorney for some pretty high profile figures, told NewsNation that same day that a "big mistake" was made. Dershowitz described the move as "a big mistake, big blunder by his lawyers," when it comes to Abrego Garcia. "His lawyers never, ever should have tried to bring him back to the United States. They should have filed a motion, having him transferred from El Salvador or Nicaragua, where maybe there was some fear, to another place, say Argentina or...

Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, whom I’ve argued should just give up on his Democrat roots and come over to the party of reason, thinks that Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his backers made a poor choice to push for his return to the U.S. to face criminal charges for smuggling illegal immigrants. As we’ve reported, the alleged MS-13 gangbanger was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March and quickly became the left’s newest hero.Dershowitz appeared on “The Record with Greta Van Susteren” Friday and said that Abrego Garcia and all his Democrat supporters may rue the day they...

Despite leftist U.S. District Judge James Boasberg finding probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court on Wednesday for violating his previous order, Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz believes Boasberg should be the one held in contempt instead “for issuing such a vague order.” Boasberg attempted to block the administration from using the Alien Enemies Act for deporting Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members, but Boasberg never issued a binding order, Dershowitz explained. “He issues an order first orally, in which he talks about bringing the planes back. You can't just bring planes back. That's...

Alan Dershowitz said he will sue Jack Schlossberg after the social media influencer and only grandson of John F. Kennedy falsely claimed the civil rights attorney and Harvard professor had killed his wife, The Post has learned. “I hope he will preserve all of his documents because I am about to commence a legal action against him,” Dershowitz, who has been married to Carolyn Cohen since 1986, told The Post Wednesday. “My lawyers have advised me now that I have a viable defamation action.” Earlier this month, Schlossberg, with wild, unkempt hair, filmed himself attacking the 86-year-old lawyer. “Alan Dershowitz...

It’s getting hard to keep up with the number of executive orders President Donald Trump has signed within his first two weeks in office — especially those that are marking significant strides in the fight against leftist ideologies. One of these battles includes the increased anti-Semitism seen on college campuses since Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Constitutional law attorney Alan Dershowitz is warning that one of President Donald Trump's Day One executive actions might not survive a legal challenge already lodged against it. Shortly after he was sworn in, Trump issued an executive order—titled "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship"—that tightens the grounds on which U.S. citizenship will be granted to those born in America. In an episode of "The Dershow," a skeptical Dershowitz said that while he believes birthright citizenship was "a dumb idea," he doesn't think Trump can nullify it through executive action.Hours into Trump's presidency, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)...

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...

resident Joe Biden's extraordinarily broad pardon of his son may have saved Hunter from a prison sentence, but it might actually mark the beginning of worse legal troubles for the Biden clan. By pre-emptively shielding Hunter from the consequences of any alleged criminal conduct dating back eleven years, the President leaves his son open to virtually unlimited questioning in future Congressional, civil or even criminal investigations. That's because Hunter Biden can no longer claim the privilege of the Fifth Amendment – a Constitutional right that protects people from offering testimony that may incriminate them. Since Hunter is now effectively immune...

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....

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...

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...

Alan Dershowitz, a longtime trial lawyer and former attorney for Donald Trump, says that the ex-president's jury at his New York hush money trial is bad news for his one-time client. Following three days of legal wrangling a panel of seven men and five women has now been selected and they will assess his guilt or innocence over the coming weeks. Dershowitz, 85, says that the makeup of the jurors - who include a corporate lawyer, an investment banker, a software engineer and a teacher - suggest Trump will fare poorly.
