Alan Dershowitz Says He’ll Gladly Testify On Jeffrey Epstein yyy
Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, who has faced accusations related to his former client Jeffrey Epstein, strongly stated on Newsmax on Friday that he would like the House Oversight Committee to call him in to testify publicly. He also demanded that the names of those accusing him and others be made public.
“I’m delighted that there are public hearings,” Dershowitz told “Bianca Across the Nation.” “I invite them to call me. I’m happy to testify.”
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have agreed to testify before the committee. Hillary Clinton has called for the hearings to be conducted in public.
Alan Dershowitz noted that the former president is listed in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, but the names of Clinton’s accusers have been redacted.
“Clinton’s name is on the list,” Dershowitz argued. “It says Bill Clinton, not a victim in Epstein’s case, claimed she was invited to an orgy with Clinton but did not attend.”
“You know, again, let’s have a public hearing, but let’s name these accusers,” he added. “These accusers have no right to accuse and then hide behind anonymity.”
Dershowitz stated that in his own case, “it says not a minor,” so that factor should not be considered when deciding whether to release the identities of the accusers.
“What right does an adult woman have to level an accusation of false, totally false accusation against me and hide behind redaction and anonymity?”
Alan Dershowitz was part of Jeffrey Epstein’s legal team in 2007, during which they negotiated a non-prosecution agreement in Florida. He later continued to represent Epstein as civil suits against him expanded.
Dershowitz was no longer serving as Epstein’s legal counsel in July 2019, when Epstein was facing charges of sex trafficking involving minors.
One month later, Epstein died in a New York correctional facility, and his death was ruled a suicide.
In an interview with Newsmax, Dershowitz stated that it is “McCarthyism” and “unconstitutional” not to release the names of the accusers.
“I’m delighted that we’re going to see public hearings,” he said. “Let them call me to the public hearings. I’ll tell them the truth about what happened.”
Dershowitz added that he won’t claim any privileges.
“I won’t claim any inability to remember,” he said. “I remember everything, and I know a great deal about it. But they won’t call me because they’re not interested in the truth. They’re interested only in gossip.”
However, the ongoing controversy about Epstein “is really not about Jeffrey Epstein anymore,” said Dershowitz.
“This is about the worst form of McCarthyism that has afflicted America since the 1950s,” he said.
Dershowitz continued that the Justice Department has released a list of “prominent names,” but “every single name of every accuser has been blacked out.”
“So, for example, let’s turn to me,” Dershowitz said. “It says blank, blank, blank, blacked out. Stated she gave him a massage on Epstein’s plane. Parenthesis. Not a minor.”
“I was never on Epstein’s plane with a young woman,” he insisted.
“So let’s understand that this is an adult, a woman who was on Epstein’s plane, she says,” said Dershowitz. “I was never on Epstein’s plane with a young woman. I never got a massage. This is total defamation, a total lie.”
But he added that he can’t disprove the claim “because they won’t give me her name.”
Dershowitz also responded to allegations suggesting that Epstein had connections with Israel’s Mossad.
“It’s an absurd theory. He was not a Mossad agent,” said Dershowitz.
Dershowitz also insisted that Epstein “was not suicidal.”
“The lawyers told me that he was told he had a good chance of getting out on bail Monday or Tuesday, following the weekend when he allegedly killed himself, so there’s a good argument that he didn’t kill himself,” said Dershowitz. “But then you have to ask yourself, who killed him?”
CNN’s Jennings Calls Out Summers, Plaskett Over Epstein Emails
CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings accused Democrats on Friday of trying to control the narrative surrounding the late child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, arguing the effort “blew up in their face.”
Jennings made the comments during an appearance on the PBD Podcast with Patrick Bet-David, where he criticized Rep. Jasmine Crockett and other Democrats for their handling of the Epstein issue, Mediaite
Jennings pointed to Crockett’s recent remarks on the House floor in which she claimed “a Jeffrey Epstein” had donated to Republicans like Lee Zeldin, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator.
Crockett quickly learned the donor she referenced was not the late billionaire, who died in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges.
“She’s the smartest person they could find so they sent her to do this,” Jennings said.
“And the reason is this: because they are desperate to make this a story about President [Donald] Trump and Epstein. And the only thing we found out in the last week is that it’s a story about Democrats and Epstein,” he added. “You got Larry Summers asking for dating advice from Epstein.”
Summers, a former Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, stepped down from a Harvard role after newly released emails showed him seeking dating advice from Epstein from November 2018 to July 2019.
The emails were sent years after Epstein had already registered as a sex offender following his conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Jennings also called out Del. Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands over her correspondences with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing, claiming the billionaire appeared to influence her questioning.
Plaskett, who narrowly avoided House censure, has said she relied on Epstein only for “information.”
“You got Plaskett being programmed by Epstein,” Jennings said.
“They lost the narrative, so they sent out their smartest person, Jasmine Crockett, to try to reset the narrative, and it blew up in their face.”
“They may regret going down this road.”
Crockett’s comments about a donor named Epstein came during the attempt to censure Plaskett.
She defended naming the wrong Epstein by saying her staff did not have time to properly vet the information.
She also argued she never specifically claimed it was the Jeffrey Epstein at the center of the censure effort.
“Listen, I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein,” she told CNN. “Just so that people understand, when you make a donation, your picture is not there.”
“And because they decided to spring this on us in real time, I wanted the Republicans to think about what could potentially happen because I knew that they didn’t even try to go through the FEC. So my team, what they did is they Googled. And that is specifically why I said, a, Jeffrey Epstein.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday that the Justice Department will release all unclassified records connected to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days of President Donald Trump signing new disclosure legislation.
Earlier in the day, the Senate formally transmitted the bill to Trump after voting Tuesday night to automatically approve it upon arrival from the House. The House passed the measure Tuesday in a 427–1 vote.
Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act — which Trump has signaled he will sign — Bondi must disclose all documents, including internal communications and investigative materials, related to Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell within 30 days of the law taking effect.
In 2019, Epstein reportedly committed suicide while in federal custody, as he awaited trial for charges connected to the sex trafficking of minors. Maxwell, having been found guilty of sex trafficking and related offenses, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
“We will follow the law,” Bondi told reporters at a news conference on Wednesday.
