Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz tells Fox News host Sean Hannity he believes Congress is overreaching in its investigations of President Donald Trump.
Multiple investigations by House Democrats into President Donald Trump are pushing beyond the bounds of the “legitimate function of Congress,” Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told Fox News host Sean Hannity on his show Tuesday.
“But it has to make sure it doesn’t go too far. It can’t use that oversight function, which is really designed to help get legislation, in order to really prevent a president from finishing out his terms and acting, and they’re interfering with the executive branch if they do so... The committee sent document requests—a precursor to potential subpoenas if the targets do not comply—to 81 individuals and entities linked to Trump.
This is in order to “begin building the public record” amid concerns that Justice Department officials “may conceal the work of the special counsel’s investigation,” Nadler said. “And so if I were one of the people who got a letter or a subpoena, I would at least think about the possibility of bringing a lawsuit and suggesting that Congress is abusing its oversight function.”
