Donald Trump on Monday finally spoke out on the sudden death of jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, several days after the news was reported. However, the former president in his message did not acknowledge the potential role that Russian President Vladimir Putin played in Navalny's death and instead conflated his perceived political plight with it.
“The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country,” the former president wrote on his Truth Social platform. “It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction."
