President Trump’s legal team has cited the Constitution in arguing that he should not sit down for an interview with the special counsel leading the Russia investigation. (Evan Vucci/AP)President Trump should be more worried about prosecutors in New York than about the ongoing Russia probe led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, retired Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said Sunday. “I think he has constitutional defenses to the investigation being conducted by Mueller,” Dershowitz said. “The president or the candidate is entitled to contribute anything he wants to his own campaign,” Dershowitz said. He added that it might be helpful for Trump to at least answer written questions from Mueller in the Russia probe, even if he declines to provide oral testimony.
