President Donald Trump has publicly welcomed prominent constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz into the Republican Party, using his Truth Social platform to endorse the former Harvard professor's forthcoming book about abandoning the Democratic Party after nearly seven decades.
The endorsement marks the latest example of Trump embracing high-profile former Democrats who argue the party has shifted too far to the left. It also arrives as Dershowitz continues to face renewed scrutiny over his past legal representation of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, placing the veteran attorney back at the centre of both political and legal attention.
