Alan Dershowitz Says He’ll Gladly Testify On Jeffrey Epstein

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz is demanding transparency as Congress prepares for public hearings related to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, forcefully rejecting allegations tied to his former client and inviting lawmakers to question him under oath.

Appearing Friday on Newsmax’s “Bianca Across the Nation,” Dershowitz made clear he welcomes scrutiny — but only if it is conducted openly.

“I’m delighted that there are public hearings,” Dershowitz told “Bianca Across the Nation.” “I invite them to call me. I’m happy to testify.”

The House Oversight Committee is reportedly preparing to hear testimony not only from Dershowitz but also from high-profile political figures. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton have agreed to testify, with Hillary Clinton publicly urging that the proceedings be conducted transparently.

Dershowitz pointed out that while prominent political names have surfaced in documents tied to Epstein, the identities of accusers remain concealed.

“Clinton’s name is on the list,” Dershowitz argued. “It says Bill Clinton, not a victim in Epstein’s case, claimed she was invited to an orgy with Clinton but did not attend.”

“You know, again, let’s have a public hearing, but let’s name these accusers,” he added. “These accusers have no right to accuse and then hide behind anonymity.”

Addressing allegations directed at him, Dershowitz stressed that the documents explicitly state “not a minor” in reference to the claim against him, arguing that such a designation undermines the justification for shielding the accuser’s identity.

“What right does an adult woman have to level an accusation of false, totally false accusation against me and hide behind redaction and anonymity?”

Dershowitz served on Epstein’s legal team during the controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement in Florida and later represented him as civil lawsuits mounted. However, he was no longer acting as Epstein’s counsel in July 2019 when Epstein was charged with sex trafficking involving minors.

Epstein died the following month in a New York correctional facility. His death was officially ruled a suicide — a conclusion that has continued to generate public skepticism across the political spectrum.

In his Newsmax appearance, Dershowitz characterized the refusal to release accusers’ names as both unconstitutional and reminiscent of dark chapters in American history.

“I’m delighted that we’re going to see public hearings,” he said. “Let them call me to the public hearings. I’ll tell them the truth about what happened.”

He emphasized that he would not invoke privilege or claim faulty memory.

“I won’t claim any inability to remember,” he said. “I remember everything, and I know a great deal about it. But they won’t call me because they’re not interested in the truth. They’re interested only in gossip.”

According to Dershowitz, the broader issue extends beyond Epstein himself.

“This is about the worst form of McCarthyism that has afflicted America since the 1950s,” he said.

While the Justice Department has released documents listing “prominent names,” Dershowitz noted that “every single name of every accuser has been blacked out.”

“So, for example, let’s turn to me,” Dershowitz said. “It says blank, blank, blank, blacked out. Stated she gave him a massage on Epstein’s plane. Parenthesis. Not a minor.”

“I was never on Epstein’s plane with a young woman,” he insisted.

“So let’s understand that this is an adult, a woman who was on Epstein’s plane, she says,” said Dershowitz. “I was never on Epstein’s plane with a young woman. I never got a massage. This is total defamation, a total lie.”

Yet, he argued, the redactions prevent him from fully defending himself.

“But he added that he can’t disprove the claim ‘because they won’t give me her name.’”

Dershowitz also rejected allegations circulating in some circles that Epstein had ties to Israel’s intelligence agency.

“It’s an absurd theory. He was not a Mossad agent,” said Dershowitz.

He further cast doubt on the official conclusion surrounding Epstein’s death.

“The lawyers told me that he was told he had a good chance of getting out on bail Monday or Tuesday, following the weekend when he allegedly killed himself, so there’s a good argument that he didn’t kill himself,” said Dershowitz. “But then you have to ask yourself, who killed him?”

As Congress moves toward public hearings, the Epstein saga remains a lightning rod — raising profound questions about due process, transparency, elite accountability, and the constitutional principle that accusations should not be weaponized behind anonymous redactions.

With President Donald J. Trump’s administration continuing to emphasize law, order, and institutional accountability in his second term, the coming hearings may test whether Washington is prepared to pursue truth — or simply perpetuate partisan spectacle.
