Attorney Alan Dershowitz on Monday challenged former Democratic Hartford, Conn. Mayor Luke Bronin to name the specific crime for which President-elect Donald Trump was convicted, but Bronin failed to do so.

A Manhattan jury convicted Trump in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records pertaining to a nondisclosure agreement with porn star Stormy Daniels following a weeks-long trial. Dershowitz, on “American Agenda,” pushed Bronin to criticize the New York prosecution of Trump and challenged him to detail the crime after the former mayor signaled support for the prosecution, based on the jury’s guilty verdict.

WATCH:

“[Manhattan District Attorney] Alvin Bragg searched the law books to try to find a crime against Donald Trump. He couldn’t. And so he made one up and prosecuted him for the weakest case I’ve seen in 62 years of practice,” Dershowitz said. “And I’d love to hear my friend [on] the Democratic panel get up and condemn, condemn the prosecution of Donald Trump for a non-crime in New York that resulted in [34] false convictions. Just remember that: [34] times zero equals zero. Will you condemn that prosecution?”

Bronin responded.

“Alan, you’re talking about a trial where Donald Trump was found guilty by a jury of his peers,” Bronin said.

The jury instructions provided by Judge Juan Merchan did not mandate the jurors to agree on the underlying crime prosecutors alleged Trump falsified records to conceal.

“Tell me what the crime was he was convicted of. I challenge you to describe the crime,” Dershowitz said. “You can’t do it. There is no crime. It doesn’t matter that he was convicted of a jury.”

Bronin sidestepped the challenge, instead suggesting it was “remarkable” that Dershowitz did not believe the jury’s verdict validated the prosecution.

Dershowitz interrupted Bronin, saying, “That doesn’t make it legitimate. This was utterly illegitimate.”

Newsmax host Bob Brooks then ended the segment, saying they needed to move on.

Merchan ordered Trump to appear for his sentencing either in-person or virtually on Jan. 10, just 10 days before his inauguration on Jan. 20. CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Monday that Trump is expected to receive “an unconditional discharge, meaning no prison time, no probation, no fine, no community service, no nothing.”
