KEY POINTS

  • Trump said Navalny's shock death made him realize how prosecutors and judges were 'leading us down a path to destruction'
  • He went on to say that 'grossly unfair courtroom decisions' were destroying the U.S.
  • Pelosi called for Trump's disqualification for presidency as his statements were 'beneath the dignity of a human being'

Former President Donald Trump has broken his silence on the death of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, comparing the beloved Russian opposition leader's shock passing in prison to his own legal woes, and failing to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom President Joe Biden and other Western leaders have blamed for Navalny's death.
