Dershowitz says he hasn't yet discussed his legal fees for defending Trump. The bigger question is who will pay Trump's lawyers.
Celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who has sought to cast himself as a nonpartisan member of President Trump’s defense team, pledged Tuesday that he would not earn money from his work in the Senate impeachment trial.He would not disclose his normal hourly rate, but he has defended a number of extremely wealthy clients over the years, from socialites Claus von Bulow and Leona Helmsley to financiers Michael Milkin and Jeffrey Epstein.
Dershowitz said he spent two weeks researching and writing his portion of Trump’s impeachment defense, without the help of legal assistants.Two members of Trump’s defense team -- Jay Sekulow and Jane Raskin -- have been paid $225,000 from the Republican National Committee through November as part of $2.
On Tuesday morning, Dershowitz said it was still unclear whether he would return to the defense table when the trial resumes in the afternoon. He said he was on his way to the White House, where Trump was scheduled to unveil a Middle East peace plan.
