Retired Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said that the Jan. 6-related case that the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take likely will apply to former President Donald Trump’s case.
“Look, these were not obstructions of justice,” Mr. Dershowitz told Newsmax on Friday, referring to the charges against some of the defendants who breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. “These were attempts to exercise First Amendment rights to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Some of the people went too far and destroyed property, but those people who just tried to influence the congressional hearings were exercising their constitutional right.”
