Putin says Trump prosecution shows 'rottenness' of U.S. politics (https://www.reuters.com/world/putin-says-trump-prosecution-shows-us-system-is-rotten-2023-09-12/)
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that the prosecution of former U.S. President Donald Trump was politically motivated and demonstrated the "rottenness" of the U.S. political system.
Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is facing a series of criminal cases in which he is charged, among other things, with trying to overturn his 2020 presidential election defeat by Joe Biden.
He has pleaded not guilty, while Biden, who is seeking re-election next year, has kept silent about the proceedings against his opponent.
Putin said what was happening to Trump was good from Russia's point of view.
"It shows all the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy," he said at a forum in Russia's far eastern city of Vladivostok.
"Everything that's happening with Trump is politically motivated persecution of one's political rival, that's what it is. And it's being done before the eyes of the U.S. public and the whole world. They've simply exposed their internal problems."

"Think what you want about former President Trump and the reasons he's being indicted," tweeted Bukele. "But just imagine if this happened in any other country, where a government arrested the main opposition candidate. The United States ability to use 'democracy' as foreign policy is gone."
