Attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Sunday that he was willing to assist in suing former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell over her false claim that President Donald Trump paid $1 billion to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
O’Donnell made the allegation on “The Jim Acosta Show” on Friday, which fact-checking website Snopes rated as false in July. Dershowitz said on Newsmax’s “Sunday Agenda” that O’Donnell’s statement was clearly malicious.

“There was malice there. And I would be happy to help sue Rosie O’Donnell. She is a despicable liar and defamer of people. And she shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. She’s now moved out of the country,” Dershowitz said. “She hates America. She hates American politicians. And she ought to be sued. I hope she is sued. And I volunteer pro bono to help out anybody who wants to sue Rosie O’Donnell on behalf of the president.”
“Rosie O’Donnell is not above the law and the president is not below the law,” he continued. “He has the right to sue for defamation if he can demonstrate malice. And I think the malice in this case is very clear.”
Host Lidia Curanaj asked Dershowitz how much money he would sue O’Donnell for.
“Everything she’s worth. I don’t know what she’s worth now, but certainly several hundred million dollars. The president’s reputation is at stake,” Dershowitz said. “He didn’t pay $1 billion to Jeffrey Epstein. I was Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer. I know about the relationship between Trump and Epstein. It ended early on in time. I’ve seen many of the records. There’s nothing to inculpate Trump in any way. ”
