🚨BREAKING: Alan Dershowitz says he would be “HAPPY TO HELP SUE ROSIE O’DONNELL” over her false assertion that Trump paid Epstein $1B.🚨
“She is a despicable liar and defamer of people — and she shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it.”
“I volunteer pro bono to help out anybody who wants to sue Rosie O’Donnell on behalf of the president.”
“He has the right to sue for defamation if he can demonstrate malice. And I think the malice in this case is very clear.”
Prominent attorney and Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz has come out swinging against comedian and actress Rosie O’Donnell, after she claimed—without evidence—that former President Donald Trump paid Jeffrey Epstein $1 billion. Dershowitz labeled the accusation “despicable” and volunteered to assist in a defamation lawsuit against her.
“She is a despicable liar and defamer of people — and she shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it,” Dershowitz said in a statement. He emphasized his willingness to provide legal support free of charge to anyone, including Trump himself, who might pursue legal action in response to O’Donnell’s remarks.
The high-profile lawyer, who has previously represented Trump in unrelated matters, insisted that the former president would have solid legal grounds to sue for defamation. “He has the right to sue for defamation if he can demonstrate malice,” Dershowitz said. “And I think the malice in this case is very clear.”
O’Donnell’s statement, which circulated online, has not been backed by any factual evidence and appears to be part of a broader pattern of inflammatory commentary directed at Trump. Legal experts note that public figures face a high legal bar in defamation suits, needing to prove “actual malice” — meaning that the false statement was made knowingly or with reckless disregard for the truth.
Whether Trump or his legal team will act on Dershowitz’s offer remains to be seen. However, Dershowitz’s public statements reflect growing tensions between Trump’s allies and outspoken celebrities who continue to make incendiary claims. For now, the legal battle is hypothetical — but the war of words is very real.
