Trump indicted: Dershowitz deems indictment insufficient.
Attorney Alan Dershowitz on Trump’s Third Indictment: A High Standard Should Apply
Renowned attorney Alan Dershowitz recently shared his thoughts on the third indictment of former President Donald Trump. In an interview with Newsmax’s Greta Van Susteren, Dershowitz emphasized the importance of a high standard when charging a presidential candidate with federal crimes.
Key Takeaways from Trump’s Third Indictment
“It’s just not strong enough or specific enough to satisfy the very high standard that’s required when a president of the United States allows his Justice Department to indict his opponent and influence the outcome of the election,” Dershowitz said.
“It doesn’t satisfy the high standard that should be required when you’re going after your political opponent. That’s banana republic when you go after your political opponents by indicting them,” he added.
The latest indictment, released by Special Counsel Jack Smith of the Justice Department, pertains to Trump’s alleged involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 election results and inciting the January 6 Capitol riot.
Dershowitz reiterated his belief that Trump is being treated unfairly, expressing doubts about the validity of the recent and previous indictments. “The standard has to be so high for that, and it does not look like it’s been met by this indictment,” he stated. ”It certainly wasn’t met by the indictment in New York, and questionable whether it was met by the indictment in Florida, or will be met by the indictment in Fulton County.”
