They are found, "said Ian Sams, Harris's national press secretary, in a statement.

Many of these names are Republicans, Stephanopoulos replied to the President.

In pursuing his defense, Trump specifically mentioned Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who is a staunch defender of the president.
