Attorney Alan Dershowitz on Sunday explained why he agreed to help Rudy Giuliani as the former mayor is investigated over his Ukraine dealings — slamming the US as a “banana republic” after the FBI raided Giuliani’s Manhattan home.
Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor who served on President Donald Trump’s impeachment legal team, said it was “inappropriate” for the federal agents to execute a search warrant at Giuliani’s Upper East Side apartment last week.
“In banana republics, in Castro‘s Cuba, in many parts of the world when a candidate loses for president, they go after the candidate, they go after his lawyers, they go after his friends,” Dershowitz told host John Catsimatidis on the “Cats Roundtable” podcast Sunday.
“That’s happening in America now. They’re going after Rudy Giuliani,” he continued, noting that Giuliani was the US attorney for the Southern District of New York in the 1980s.
