(The Hill)Russian President Vladimir Putin knocked the criminal cases against former President Trump on Tuesday, calling them a demonstration of the "rottenness" of the American political system.
"As for the prosecution of Trump, for us what is happening in today's conditions, in my opinion, is good because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others democracy," Putin said during a speech at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia.
He argued that "everything that is happening with Trump is the persecution of a political rival for political reasons."
"That's what it is," the Putin continued. "And this is being done in front of the public of the United States and the whole world."
