US President Donald Trump pointed out the similarity of the sentencing of the head of the French National Union party, Marine Le Pen and court proceedings against him. He made a corresponding statement to journalists at the White House on March 31.
"It's like our country. It is very similar to our country. I do not know if this is due to the verdict, but she was banned from participating in elections for five years, and she is the leading candidate," Trump said.
According to him, the persecution of a significant political figure has become a "big deal."
On March 31, a court in Paris recognized Le Pen is guilty of embezzlement of European Parliament funds in the case of creating fictitious jobs. She was sentenced to four years in prison, two of which are suspended, and the rest are house arrest with wearing an electronic bracelet. The politician's lawyer has already stated that he intends to appeal the verdict.
