Alan Dershowitz compares the current prosecution of Donald Trump to the historic treason trial of Aaron Burr, which was orchestrated by Thomas Jefferson. He notes that Chief Justice John Marshall presided over the Burr case, which resulted in a verdict of "not proven." Dershowitz ranks the Trump indictment alongside the Rosenberg and McCarthy trials as one of the most significant legal events in American history.
