Alan Dershowitz: Jack Smith's evidence like 'a gun with Trump's fingerprints on it'

Law professor Alan Dershowitz likened the evidence against former President Donald Trump to a gun with fingerprints.

While speaking to podcaster Charlie Kirk, Dershowitz commented on special counsel Jack Smith's evidence showing Trump mishandled national security documents.

"You have called on this program the most serious of all the potential indictments against Donald Trump," Kirk told Dershowitz. "Do you still feel that way now [after] actually reading the indictment itself?"

"I do, especially the provision in which Donald Trump foolishly waved some paper in front of a reporter while he was being recorded by his own staff," Dershowitz replied, referring to an apparent recording of Trump bragging about having confidential documents.

"And he said, I could have declassified this, but I didn't, so it's still secret," the attorney continued. "And it has to do with a battle attack plan for Iran."

Dershowitz argued that the evidence was not a "smoking gun."

"But it's surely a gun with Trump's fingerprints on it," he added. "And his lawyers will have to explain that away. They may argue, look, it was just puffery. He didn't really show them anything. He just waved it in front of them."

"But it seems like it's an admission that he had material that he knew he had not declassified," Dershowitz remarked.

The longtime attorney said that he would not represent Trump in the documents case because he had already represented him during an impeachment trial.
