President Trump’s legal team signaled earlier this week that they weren’t worried about the prospect of former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort negotiating a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller — in fact, some lawyers close to the case suggested a plea deal could be beneficial for both Manafort and Trump.
But Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, who has received a lot of flak over the last year for defending Trump at times despite being a self-described liberal, says Team Trump should be deeply concerned about Manafort’s agreement to fully cooperate with the Mueller investigation, though he stressed that it’s unlikely Manafort would have any evidence that could lead to impeachment.
