Epstein's Defense Lawyer Breaks Silence: Alan Dershowitz Talks Allegations and Regrets

Alan Dershowitz has spent a lifetime defending the indefensible and paying the price for it. In this episode of CARLOS, one of America’s most famous legal minds reflects on Israel, a Trump 3rd term, and the case that changed everything: Jeffrey Epstein. In a raw and wide-ranging conversation, Dershowitz confronts accusations, conspiracy theories, and a justice system he believes is fundamentally broken. Carlos Watson challenges him on guilt, loyalty, and moral limits, revealing a portrait of a man who insists that defending the rule of law matters most when it’s hardest to do. You may disagree with him. You may be unsettled by him. But you won’t forget this conversation.
