Alan Dershowitz Hired as Harvey Weinstein's Legal Advisor

https://www.mediaite.com/online/alan-dershowitz-hired-as-harvey-weinsteins-legal-advisor/

Harvard Law bigwig Alan Dershowitz is adding another line to his resume as Harvey Weinstein‘s consultant.

The professor emeritus and lawyer will be advising Weinstein’s legal team, helping the film director to defend himself against numerous allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

Dershowitz is looking to get his hands on “exculpatory” emails belonging to The Weinstein Co., which he thinks will strengthen his case, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
