Donald Trump's sentence shows that in the USA all legal and illegal means are used to remove their political rivals, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today, quoted by Reuters, BTA writes.
Donald Trump yesterday became the first US president to be convicted after a New York court found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a hush-hush payment to a porn star before the 2016 election.
„If we talk about Trump, it is an obvious fact that there is simply, in practice, the elimination of political rivals by all possible means, legal and illegal,” Peskov said at a press conference.
77-year-old Trump's sentence will become clear on July 11.
U.S. President Joe Biden's campaign staff said the verdict proved that “no one is above the law,” but it is unlikely to change the campaign for the Nov. 5 election.
