Trump vows to save Netanyahu from ‘witch-hunt’ corruption trial
- Donald Trump pledged to save Benjamin Netanyahu from the Israeli prime minister's corruption trial, calling it a "witch-hunt."
- Trump claimed Netanyahu is a "great hero" and "warrior" facing politically motivated charges, urging the trial's cancellation or a pardon.
- Netanyahu is currently undergoing cross-examination in a trial where he faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, all of which he denies.
- Trump said the United States would intervene to save Netanyahu, drawing a parallel to how the US supposedly saved Israel from conflict with Iran.
- The charges against Netanyahu stem from three criminal cases, including allegations of illicitly receiving expensive gifts and attempting to influence media coverage.
