The Department of Justice (DOJ) is likely attempting to ensnare former President Donald Trump on obstruction of justice charges, predicted Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz.

“The only possible case that they could consider making against the former president and a future presidential candidate—it’s not going to be mishandling of classified information—it would be the Nixon crime: obstruction of justice,” he said in a recent interview with Newsmax, referring to former President Richard Nixon.
