Famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz said President Trump’s “greatest vulnerability” is not the Russia collusion investigation, but rather the women who say they had extramarital affairs with him.
“I hope they are preparing for something else,” Dershowitz said of Trump’s legal team on “Fox and Friends Saturday,” once again dismissing that there is any evidence of collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia.
“I think his greatest vulnerability are these women. Because he has denied he has had any affair with any of these women,” Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus, said. “And if they get him under a deposition and he testifies that he has had no sexual relations with these women and they testify that he has, then he can be facing a perjury trap.”

Dershowitz compared the situation to that of former President Bill Clinton back in the 1990s, who was impeached not for sexual misconduct, but for lying about his actions under oath.
Stormy Daniels, an adult film star, is expected to open up about her alleged affair with Trump during an interview Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” That follows an extensive interview former Playboy model Karen McDougal gave CNN on her alleged affair with the president more than a decade ago.
The White House has denied Trump was ever involved in an affair.
