I’ve been covering Alan Dershowitz for over a year now, and I can assure you he’s not repressed. When we chatted on the phone on Saturday, he got right to the point: “I got what I always wanted. They withdrew everything!”
Dershowitz is talking about the settlement that he reached with lawyers Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell, who sued the famous Harvard professor for defamation; Dershowitz also countersued them. (If you need a refresher, the backdrop is that Edwards and Cassell’s client Virginia Roberts Giuffre accused Dershowitz, along with Prince Andrew and others, of having sex with her when she was a minor. Dershowitz denied the charges and accused her two lawyers of acting improperly.)
