Alan Dershowitz said he wants to publish \u201cimportant\u201d files related to Jeffrey Epstein \u2014 the dead sex criminal whose case remains a lightning rod \u2014 but claims judicial seals are blocking him from doing so.\u00a0During an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Dershowitz addressed the camera and asked judicial authorities for permission to hand over the documents to Piers Morgan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have them in my possession, my lawyers have them. Judge, let me give them to Piers Morgan. I want to give them to Piers Morgan. Why, Judge, are you preventing me from disclosing material that would be very, very important in putting a whole picture on this thing?\u201d Dershowitz asked.<\/p>\n

Appearing on the same show moments earlier, Mike Nellis, described as a \u201csocial impact entrepreneur\u201d and former advisor to Kamala Harris, pushed back on Dershowitz\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n

He said the files Dershowitz controls \u201crepresent about 3% of what would be considered the Epstein files\u201d and argued that the Justice Department and the White House could \u201cend this at any time\u201d by releasing the far larger tranche of materials.<\/p>\n

Dershowitz rejected that assertion. \u201cNo, they can\u2019t,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll never end as long as judges are sealing depositions,\u201d he argued. \u201cI know what\u2019s in those documents! I know something you don\u2019t know! I know what\u2019s in those documents. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to get these judicial documents out there, if the judge will give me permission.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Harvard law professor represented Epstein, and as such the attorney-client privilege would still apply to their communications even after Epstein\u2019s death \u2014 meaning Dershowitz\u2019s ability to waive disclosure is highly constrained.<\/p>\n

Yet the broader context has shifted this week: newly released emails tied to Epstein show him making pointed comments about former President Donald Trump, and an additional tranche of around 20,000 pages of estate records from Epstein was released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.<\/p>\n

The committee\u2019s press release described them as coming from the Epstein estate.<\/p>\n

Among the newly published emails: in one from April 2, 2011, Epstein told his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell that \u201cthat dog that hasn\u2019t barked is Trump \u2026 [victim] spent hours at my house with him\u201d \u2014 the \u201cdog\u201d reference implying Trump had not yet been questioned.<\/p>\n

In another from December 2018, Epstein wrote that Trump was \u201cborderline insane. Dersh, a few feet further from the border but not by much.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in one from February 1, 2019, he asserted: \u201cTrump knew of it. and came to my house many times during that period \u2026 He never got a massage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The White House accused Democrats of selectively leaking the emails to \u201ccreate a fake narrative\u201d against Trump.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dershowitz said the problem isn\u2019t the administration \u2014 it\u2019s the courts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the White House that\u2019s keeping a lot of the most important material out,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s judges \u2014 three federal judges in New York have sealed depositions. I want those depositions out there!\u201d<\/p>\n

During the broadcast, he added: \u201cI know what\u2019s in those documents!\u201d<\/p>\n

He called for the judicial restraints to be lifted so the fuller story can emerge.<\/p>\n

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday emphasized Congress\u2019s recent legislative victories, indicating it is returning to regular order.<\/p>\n

He also disputed suggestions that President Donald Trump is in the Epstein files and revealed that the GOP-controlled House will more than likely pass a measure this week to release many of the files tied to Epstein.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re doing this to go after President Trump on this theory that he has something to do with it. He does not,\u201d Johnson declared.<\/p>\n

Johnson went on to argue that Trump isn\u2019t worried about accusations of his name being in the Epstein files.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talk with him all the time. He has nothing to do with this. He\u2019s frustrated that they [Democrats] are turning it into a political issue, and it\u2019s not surprising because the Democrats have nothing else to talk about,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

So the discharge petition will be on the floor again this week, Johnson explained, adding that he suspects \u201cthere will be lots of votes that will just get this done and move it on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing to hide, and the Oversight Committee is releasing far more information than the discharge petition little gambit ever even anticipated,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThe discharge is totally moot. It is a political exercise, and we\u2019re going to dispense with that this week.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
