President Trump should be more worried about prosecutors in New York than
about the ongoing Russia probe led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III,
retired Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said Sunday.
Dershowitz, an informal Trump adviser, said in an appearance on ABC News’s
“This Week” that the expanding probe by prosecutors in the Southern
District of New York could spell the greatest peril for Trump because of the
lack of constitutional protections for the president at that level.
“I think he has constitutional defenses to the investigation being
conducted by Mueller,” Dershowitz said. “But there are no constitutional
defenses to what the Southern District is investigating. So, I think the
Southern District is the greatest threat.”
Trump’s legal team has cited the Constitution in arguing that the president
should not sit down for an interview with Mueller, who is investigating
Russian interference in the 2016 election as well as potential collusion
with Trump’s campaign and obstruction of justice. Trump has routinely
denounced the probe as a “witch hunt.”
The president’s legal quandary in New York, meanwhile, continues to deepen
after federal prosecutors there granted immunity last week to Allen
Weisselberg, chief financial officer for the Trump Organization, and David
Pecker, a longtime Trump ally who is the executive of the National Enquirer
magazine’s parent company.
News of the cooperation deals came days after former Trump attorney Michael
Cohen pleaded guilty to eight felonies, including two counts related to hush
money paid just before the 2016 election to women who alleged affairs with
Trump. Cohen said he made the payments at Trump’s direction.

Why Mueller's report isn't expected until after the midterm elections

The Cohen case is unlikely to lead to any legal consequences for Trump while
he is in office, experts say, although it could prompt calls for his
impeachment should Democrats retake the House in November.
Dershowitz said Sunday that “it would be great” to have Democrats in
charge on Capitol Hill so that they can conduct investigations into Trump’s
actions.
But he continued to play down Trump’s failure to report the hush money,
arguing that the person at fault for the campaign finance violation would be
the campaign’s treasurer, not the candidate.
“The president or the candidate is entitled to contribute anything he wants
to his own campaign,” Dershowitz said. “So the only issue here is whether
or not there was a failure to report the contribution. That failure to
report is attributable to the treasurer of the campaign, not to the
president.”
Weighing in on whether Trump should sit for an interview with Mueller,
Dershowitz contended that “it would be good for the American public if
President Trump sat down and said everything he knows, but it wouldn’t be
good for President Trump. And that’s why his lawyers are so strongly
recommending against it.”
He also offered four broader points of advice for Trump.
“Look, my advice to the president — I never gave it to him privately
because I’m not his lawyer, but on television — is: Don’t fire, don’t
pardon, don’t tweet and don’t testify. And if he listened to those four
things, he’d be in less trouble than he is today,” Dershowitz said.
In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” former attorney general Alberto
Gonzales said that Cohen’s guilty plea and the conviction of former Trump
campaign chairman Paul Manafort were creating “a lot of debate and swirl
around the president as an individual, and that’s never good.”
Trump has praised Manafort and recently sought his attorneys’ advice on a
potential pardon, according to Trump attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani. Gonzales
said that while Trump is entitled to speak his mind, his apparent sympathy
for Manafort puts him at odds with his own Justice Department.
“They had a very successful conviction of Paul Manafort. And to have the
president then, you know, speak so well of Paul Manafort was somewhat
unusual,” Gonzales said.
He added that it might be helpful for Trump to at least answer written
questions from Mueller in the Russia probe, even if he declines to provide
oral testimony.
“I think perhaps it may ease, in the minds of certain members of the
American public, the president’s involvement, the president’s knowledge
about Russian involvement” in the 2016 presidential election, Gonzales said.
