Fox News Hasn’t Asked Dershowitz About His Pedophile Client Jeffrey Epstein
Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz is a frequent Fox News guest, but for some reason the network never seems to ask him about his involvement in a high-profile case that continues to make news.
On Nov. 28, 2018, when the Miami Herald revealed that, in 2008, convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers, a group that included Dershowitz, had pressured Trump’s labor secretary Alexander Acosta into negotiating a sweetheart plea deal for the billionaire financier, who was accused of molesting more than 100 underage girls.
Since that news broke, Dershowitz has appeared on Fox News a total of 27 times.
Not once has anyone on the network asked him about his client or his connection to the secret plea deal a judge has since declared illegal.
Over the past year, Dershowitz has emerged as a go-to legal analyst for Fox News.
His long, highly public legal career, combined with him being a lifelong Democrat who is often critical of Robert Mueller, has made him an attractive guest for Fox shows that incessantly rail against the special counsel’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
As such, the Harvard professor only ever seems to discuss one thing with Fox News—and it’s not his high-profile client.
