Alan Dershowitz in 2016: Corrupt Donald Trump will violate ‘international and domestic laws’
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, a member of President Donald Trump’s impeachment legal team, said in 2016 that Trump was more corrupt than Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
He also predicted that Trump would continue to be corrupt, if elected.
Dershowitz, who voted for Clinton, dismissed allegations of corruption Trump raised against the Clinton Foundation in a radio interview flagged by CNN’s K-File.
“When you compare that to what Trump has done with Trump University, with so many other things,
I think there’s no comparison between who has engaged in more corruption and who is more likely to continue that if elected president of the United States.”
Dershowitz predicted in another interview cited by CNN that Trump would
“embolden and strengthen some of the fascist elements in our society.”
He also wrote in his 2016 book that Trump was a “destabilizing and unpredictable candidate” who “openly embraces fringe conspiracy theories peddled by extremists,”
Discussing Trump’s foreign policy, Dershowitz added that it was
“clear that Trump is prepared to violate existing international and domestic laws.”
