But the legal scholar also argued that he still doesn’t “think it’s going to make a criminal case.”
Alan Dershowitz, who often defends Donald Trump, has warned that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report will have negative political repercussions for the president.
Appearing on the ABC News television program This Week on Sunday, the Harvard Law professor emeritus said that Trump’s legal team is already bracing to respond to the probe’s findings.
“I think the report is going to be devastating to the president and I know that the president’s team is already working on a response to the report,” Dershowitz told George Stephanopoulos.
But the legal scholar also said he did not believe the findings would lead to criminal charges against the president.
“When I say devastating, I mean it’s going to paint a picture that’s going to be politically very devastating,” he said, but added: “I still don’t think it’s going to make a criminal case.
