Harvard law school professor Alan Dershowitz said Tuesday he believes Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team of federal prosecutors is preparing to subpoena President Donald Trump.
In an interview on CNN’s “New Day,” Dershowitz said “I think they’re gearing up for what will be a difficult legal battle.”
“I suspect they have come to the same conclusion I came to several weeks ago — that the tactic of the Trump team -- I have no inside information on this -- but the tactic of the Trump team is to make the Mueller team an offer they can't accept so that in the end, there will be no sit-down and the Trump team can say, ‘look, we made them an offer. It's their fault. They didn't accept it.’
“I suspect that Mueller is on to this tactic and is now looking forward to filing some kind of a legal action, compelling the president to appear in front of a grand jury. You can't compel the president to sit down with the special counsel, but you can compel him to come in front of a grand jury.”
Dershowitz also predicted the action will be before Labor Day.
“What I don't think we can any longer see is a full-scale report, which would be very critical of President Trump, issued between now and the election,” he said.
