Russian leader claims indictments of former president are political persecution
President Vladimir Putin has described the recent indictments of Donald Trump as “political persecution” as the Russian leader waded back into a US presidential campaign for the third consecutive election cycle.
Putin made the remarks during an economic forum in the far eastern Russian city of Vladivostok, where he is also due to hold meetings with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, this week.
