With the Senate impeachment trial looming over the head of President Donald Trump, several of his defenders said he cannot be impeached for abuse of power.
Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, a high-profile criminal attorney, told ABC News’ “This Week” Sunday that Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Curtis, in his defense of former President Andrew Johnson, argued that abuse of power doesn’t constitute an impeachable offense. Dershowitz confirmed Friday that he will join Trump’s legal team and will attempt to “defend the integrity of the Constitution.”
