Dershowitz claimed that it was unlikely that Mueller accused Trump of a crime, but rather expose the facts. He suggested that the president be legally more vulnerable on issues related to his business.

Dershowitz, who regularly goes on cable television and defends the president, said it remained to be seen whether interim prosecutor Matthew Whitaker would make public the final report of the special advocate.
