Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard Law professor emeritus, predicted that Department of Justice lawyers will “cherry-pick” what they want to be redacted when disclosing an affidavit that sought a search warrant on former President Donald Trump’s Florida home earlier this month.

Those redactions, Dershowitz said in a recent interview, will be unfavorable for Trump. Because they are unfavorable, the judge in the case will allow the redacted affidavit to be released, he added.
