Conservative radio host and litigator Mark Levin said Monday that the prosecutions of former President Donald Trump were like persecution of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish captain in the French army who was unjustly accused and convicted of espionage in 1894.
Dreyfus was blamed for leaking military secrets to Germany. He was tried, convicted, and exiled to distant Devil’s Island. When evidence of his innocence emerged, pointing to the real culprit, Dreyfus was prosecuted with new charges, instead of being freed.
Dreyfus was eventually exonerated, after another conviction. But the “Dreyfus Affair” convinced a Jewish journalist, Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, that Jews had no future in Europe and needed a state of their own in the land of Israel. Levin continued: “You would not have dreamt, just a few years ago, that this could be happening to our country.”
Later in the program, Levin interviewed journalist Julie Kelly, who noted that the protective orders sought by Special Counsel Jack Smith would not only limit Trump’s ability to campaign for president, but would hurt his ability to make his case in court.
