Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by two legal titans, Alan Dershowitz, Professor Emeritus at Harvard Law School, and Laurence Tribe, Professor of Constitutional Law Emeritus at Harvard Law School, to talk about all the angles to Trump impeachment #2. They discuss and debate whether it's even legal to impeach a president who is no longer in office, whether Trump has a First Amendment defense, whether Trump can be found guilty of inciting an insurrection, whether he could be charged with dereliction of duty, the push to take Harvard degrees away and disbar Senators Cruz and Hawley, and more.
