Alan Dershowitz says Trump should “DEFINITELY” sue AOC for calling him “rapist”
“It’s a far stronger suit than it would be against The Wall Street Journal. Because everybody knows that not only was he not convicted of being a rapist, he was acquitted of that charge specifically.”
“She’s making it up in the face of knowledge that it isn’t true. So it would be much easier to prove malice against her than to prove it against The Wall Street Journal.”
“So I don’t see any reason — if he’s gonna sue The Wall Street Journal — why he shouldn’t sue her as well.”
