The trial is an example of the United States weaponizing its judicial system to persecute political opponents.

“America today doesn't have the moral ground to talk about Venezuela, to talk about Russia and Putin because we're doing the same thing. We're persecuting our political opponents.”

The investigation into Donald Trump was a politically motivated prosecution, unlike the standard procedure followed in the John Bolton case.

“So that was a political prosecution just like all the other prosecutions of Trump were. Just like January 6 was political prosecutions, right?”
