Alan Dershowitz Says He Is Willing to Testify in Jeffrey Epstein Case
Alan Dershowitz Says He Is Willing to Testify in Public Hearings Related to Jeffrey Epstein Case
Alan Dershowitz, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School and a former member of Jeffrey Epstein’s legal team, said in a recent interview that he would welcome the opportunity to testify publicly before Congress regarding allegations connected to Epstein.
Speaking Friday on Newsmax’s program “Bianca Across the Nation,” Dershowitz said he hopes the House Oversight Committee will invite him to appear and share what he knows about the case.
“I’m pleased that public hearings are being discussed,” Dershowitz said during the interview. “If they call me, I would be happy to testify.”
The comments come amid renewed attention surrounding the Epstein investigation and discussions about possible congressional hearings. According to reports, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton have agreed to testify before the committee if requested. Hillary Clinton has also expressed support for holding the hearings publicly.
During the interview, Dershowitz argued that transparency should apply not only to witnesses but also to the individuals making accusations. He called for the names of accusers to be made public rather than remaining redacted in official documents.
Dershowitz pointed out that Bill Clinton’s name appears in certain records related to Epstein, while the identities of some individuals making allegations remain concealed.
“We should have open hearings,” Dershowitz said. “But the accusers’ names should also be disclosed. People shouldn’t be able to make accusations and remain completely anonymous.”
Dershowitz also referenced statements related to his own situation, noting that documents mention that the person making claims against him was not a minor. Because of that, he said there should be no legal reason preventing the release of the accuser’s identity.
He argued that allowing accusations to remain anonymous while publicly naming the accused creates an unfair situation.
“What right does an adult have to make a serious accusation and hide behind anonymity?” Dershowitz asked during the interview.
Dershowitz was part of Epstein’s legal defense team in 2007, when Epstein reached a controversial non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in Florida. He later continued to represent Epstein during a series of civil lawsuits connected to the case.
However, Dershowitz was no longer acting as Epstein’s attorney in 2019, when Epstein was arrested and charged with federal sex trafficking offenses involving minors.
In August of that year, Epstein died in a New York detention facility while awaiting trial. Authorities ruled the death a suicide.
During his Newsmax appearance, Dershowitz also criticized the current handling of the case, describing the practice of withholding accusers’ identities as unfair and potentially unconstitutional.
“I’m glad there may be public hearings,” he said. “If they call me, I’ll testify and explain exactly what happened.”
Dershowitz added that he would not attempt to avoid answering questions if he were called to testify.
“I won’t claim privilege or say I don’t remember,” he said. “I remember everything, and I know a lot about what happened.”
Despite that, he suggested he doubts he will actually be called as a witness, arguing that some investigators may not be interested in hearing his account.
According to Dershowitz, the ongoing controversy surrounding Epstein has evolved beyond the original criminal case.
“This issue isn’t really about Jeffrey Epstein anymore,” he said. “It has become something broader.”
He also criticized the Justice Department’s release of documents containing prominent names while redacting the identities of accusers.
In reference to allegations against him, Dershowitz said a redacted document claims a woman stated she gave him a massage on Epstein’s plane. The document notes that the individual involved was not a minor.
Dershowitz strongly denied the allegation.
“I was never on Epstein’s plane with a young woman,” he said. “I never received a massage. That accusation is completely false.”
He also said the redactions make it difficult for him to respond to the claims because he cannot identify or confront the accuser.
Beyond the accusations themselves, Dershowitz addressed theories suggesting that Epstein had connections to Israel’s intelligence service, Mossad.
Dershowitz dismissed the idea, calling it “an absurd theory.”
“He was not a Mossad agent,” he said.
He also expressed skepticism about the official conclusion regarding Epstein’s death, noting that Epstein’s lawyers had reportedly believed he had a chance of being released on bail shortly before his death.
“If that was the case, you have to ask questions,” Dershowitz said.
The Epstein case has continued to generate debate years after his death, with ongoing discussions about transparency, accountability, and the release of documents connected to the investigation.
Calls for public hearings and additional disclosures have intensified as lawmakers and commentators push for more information about the people and events linked to Epstein.
The first time Dante Rossi touched his wife, she begged him not to hurt her.
The first time Dante Rossi touched his wife, she begged him not to hurt her.
He had not even meant to touch her.
He had only reached to lift the veil.
The conservatory at the edge of the Rossi compound still smelled of crushed lilies, damp earth, and expensive deceit. Outside, the final guests were being ushered to their cars by men with earpieces and holstered weapons hidden under black trench coats. Inside the master suite, Aria Sterling stood in the middle of the Persian rug like a porcelain doll someone had trapped in silk.
Her wedding dress was an armor of elegance. Heavy ivory silk. Long sleeves. A high collar. A train so thick and demanding it had taken two maids to carry it down the aisle of the cathedral.
At first, Dante had assumed the gown was merely traditional.
Then he saw what it was hiding.
A dark, mottled shadow peeked just above the silk near her collarbone. Another bruise, fading to a sickly green, curved along the delicate line of her jaw. When he brushed the tulle of her veil back, her entire body went rigid.
“Please,” she breathed. “Don’t hurt me.”
Dante’s hand stopped dead in the air.
He had been called a butcher, a phantom, the newly crowned king of Boston’s most unforgiving crime syndicate. He had heard grown men plead for their lives in empty warehouses. He had built his reign on an iron discipline so absolute that even his rivals confessed he was principled before he was lethal.
But nothing in his violent life had prepared him for the sound of his own bride pleading for mercy on their wedding night.
Aria’s gaze was glued to the floor. Her bottom lip quivered once before she bit down to force it still. She looked twenty-two and utterly broken by the world. The massive emerald on her finger weighed her down like a chain.
Dante took a slow step back.
“Who did that to you?”
Her eyelashes fluttered.
“No one.”
“Do not lie to me.”
“I fell.”
“On both sides of your neck?”
Her silence gave him the answer her voice wouldn't.
For a heartbeat, the oxygen seemed to vanish from the room. Beyond the frosted glass, Boston shimmered cold and indifferent through the heavy November rain. This marriage had been forged to extinguish a decades-old war between two distinct underworlds. Sterling political cover. Rossi brute force. A pact sealed with signatures, veiled threats, and champagne toasts.
Dante had braced himself for an entitled politician’s daughter who despised him.
He had not braced himself for a woman who had been trained to flinch before he even raised a hand.
Aria took a ragged, shallow breath. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken out of turn.”
“Sorry for what?”
“For offending you.”
Dante just stared at her.
Then he turned on his heel, walked to the heavy oak door, and gripped the brass handle.
Aria’s head snapped up, pure panic flooding her eyes. “Where are you going?”
“To the guest wing.”
“But we’re expected to—”
“We’re expected to what?” His tone came out harsher than he wanted. He reined it in with sheer willpower. “Finalize the treaty? Give your father his proof? Let a compound full of armed guards think they own the rights to what happens in this bed?”
All the color drained from her face.
Dante squeezed the door handle until the metal dug into his palm. “Listen to me very closely, Aria. I do not lay hands on women who don’t want my touch. I do not extract obedience from someone who is already shivering in fear. This room is yours. The lock works from the inside. There is food in the adjoining kitchen. If you decide to walk out the front gates, no one will stand in your way.”
She stared at him as if he had just recited a poem in a dead language.
“You aren't mad?”
“I am enraged,” he said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. “Just not at you.”
Then he stepped out and left her alone.
Only when the latch clicked into place did Aria collapse against the edge of the mattress. She pressed both palms over her mouth, trembling so violently that the heavy silk of her dress rustled like dry leaves.
She thought she had just escaped one monster.
Perhaps she hadn't been traded to another after all.
But hope was a deadly thing. Hope made people drop their guard. And Aria Sterling had survived far too much violence to put her faith in a single act of grace.
