‘Never Seen Such a Spectacle’: Alan Dershowitz Was ‘Shocked’ by What He Saw at Trump Trial
Attorney and Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz was present for former and potentially future President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York City on Monday, which is when the prosecution rested its case. He teased over X on Monday how “the case looks even weaker” after what happened. Although he experienced technical difficulties for the show he planned to do that night, he appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” and wrote a Substack piece about his experience.
A rather notable moment discussed at length about the trial has been how former Trump attorney and convicted perjurer, Michael Cohen, is supposedly the prosecution’s star witness Plenty of details that don’t exact help the prosecution’s case have been revealed during the defense’s cross-examination, such as how Cohen admitted to stealing from Trump.
There’s also how biased Acting New York County Supreme Court Justice Juan Manuel Merchan has been in the case, given how his adult daughter has an interest. Dershowitz addresses Merchan further, though, and that includes insight on how he flipped out on Robert Costello, the defense’s witness.
During his appearance on “Hannity,” Dershowitz was rather animated as he shared his take from inside the courtroom that day, including how he was somehow allowed to remain when Merchan was letting Costello have it.

As Hannity clarified, Merchan was castigating Costello for rolling his eyes, as the Fox News host then pointed out “I’m my rolling my eyes just hearing about what’s going on in that courtroom!” Dershowitz then confirmed to Hannity he’s never seen anything like this in the years he’s practiced law.
