Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said former President Donald Trump may be convicted on charges filed by special counsel Jack Smith in the nation’s capital, but he believes the conviction will not survive a review by the U.S. Supreme Court.

In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday, Mr. Dershowitz said there was “freedom to petition the government for a redress of grievances and freedom to challenge elections.”
