Alan Dershowitz hired by convicted Alexander brothers as clemency options explored

The Alexander brothers, convicted of federal sex-trafficking, have engaged Alan Dershowitz, who is reviewing possible executive clemency for them.

A federal jury in Manhattan convicted real-estate brothers Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander on a series of sex-trafficking counts, resulting in a pending sentence of at least 15 years to life for each. The trio hired former Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who has already billed more than $250,000 and continues to work on bail, appeals and sentencing matters. Dershowitz confirmed he is also reviewing “executive clemency and judicial reversal” options, though he says no pardon discussion has taken place with the brothers or the White House.

He maintains his standard hourly rate and notes his personal friendship with the Alexanders’ parents, Shlomi and Orly. The brothers’ criminal conduct involved using luxury travel and events to lure women and girls, with evidence including victim testimony and video recordings. Their sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 6, and the case highlights their past real-estate dealings for Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

Why it matters

The involvement of a high-profile lawyer could influence the brothers’ chances of obtaining a presidential pardon.
