Attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Sunday that he was willing to assist in suing former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell over her false claim that President Donald Trump paid $1 billion to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
O’Donnell made the allegation on “The Jim Acosta Show” on Friday, which fact-checking website Snopes rated as false in July. Dershowitz said on Newsmax’s “Sunday Agenda” that O’Donnell’s statement was clearly malicious.
“There was malice there. And I would be happy to help sue Rosie O’Donnell. She is a despicable liar and defamer of people. And she shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. She’s now moved out of the country,” Dershowitz said. “She hates America. She hates American politicians. And she ought to be sued. I hope she is sued. And I volunteer pro bono to help out anybody who wants to sue Rosie O’Donnell on behalf of the president.”
“Rosie O’Donnell is not above the law and the president is not below the law,” he continued. “He has the right to sue for defamation if he can demonstrate malice. And I think the malice in this case is very clear.”
Host Lidia Curanaj asked Dershowitz how much money he would sue O’Donnell for.
“Everything she’s worth. I don’t know what she’s worth now, but certainly several hundred million dollars. The president’s reputation is at stake,” Dershowitz said. “He didn’t pay $1 billion to Jeffrey Epstein. I was Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer. I know about the relationship between Trump and Epstein. It ended early on in time. I’ve seen many of the records. There’s nothing to inculpate Trump in any way. ”
“And she just is lying through her teeth because she hates Donald Trump. So she’s willing to make up stories,” he added. “That’s not what the First Amendment was designed to protect. It was not designed to protect people who make up false stories.”
Democratic Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden asserted his team had discovered over 4,000 transactions in one of Epstein’s accounts, but made no reference to Trump, according to Snopes.
O’Donnell also claimed on “The Jim Acosta Show” Friday that Trump was clearly “guilty as sin,” citing the suggestive letter Trump allegedly sent to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003, as reported by The Wall Street Journal in July. Trump has refuted the reporting and filed a lawsuit over it against Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones & Company Inc., News Corporation and the two reporters who authored it.
“Our president is a serial pedophile rapist,” O’Donnell further alleged.
The Washington Post reported in July that while “Trump and Epstein had a relationship,” there is “no evidence of Trump wrongdoing.”
In December, ABC News paid $15 million to settle Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the network after “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos inaccurately claimed in March 2024 that Trump was found liable of rape.
Trump on Truth Social Wednesday wrote that his administration was considering revoking O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship, saying that she “is not a Great American” and that he believed she was “incapable of being” one.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
