Dershowitz: Indictment Falls Below ‘Stringent Criteria’ for Prosecuting Opponent, Tells Newsmax
Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School Emeritus Professor and author, criticized the three criminal indictments brought against former President Donald Trump. He claimed that they fail to meet the high standard required when going after a political opponent. While Dershowitz acknowledged that a conviction is likely to come due to the indictments being situated in Washington, D.C., he argued that President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice falls short in treating Trump fairly. Dershowitz specifically criticized the New York indictment as the worst he has seen in his 60 years of practice, stating that it does not meet the required standard. He considered the Florida indictment to be the strongest of the four, but still not strong enough to influence an election. Dershowitz suggested that a fourth indictment from Georgia is expected. Overall, he expressed concern over the fairness and strength of the charges against Trump.
