Part 7/10:
Dershowitz clarifies that his relationship with Epstein was initially professional and somewhat social. He recalls attending intellectual seminars hosted by Epstein at Harvard, where Epstein brought together Nobel laureates and leading researchers. These interactions were typical academic and social engagements.
However, once the allegations of abuse surfaced, Dershowitz states he cut all personal ties and ceased any friendship or social visits. He emphasizes that his legal work was strictly professional, akin to a doctor-patient relationship, and that he had no personal loyalty or ongoing friendship with Epstein once he learned of the accusations.
