"Free Marine Le Pen": Trump claims the French politician is a victim of leftist lawfare, like he himself suffered with Biden

Donald Trump charged against "the witch hunt" unleashed in France against Marine Le Pen following the conviction that will prevent her from running as a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections in her country. The president denounced that the president of Rassemblement National has been a victim of the same style of lawfare as himself, although in her case, the Gallic politician has been disqualified and sentenced to prison "for an accounting error," something that, in his view, "is bad for France, and the great French people."

In a statement on his Truth Social account, Trump assured that the political persecution unleashed against him by Biden and leftist judges and prosecutors failed "because the People of the United States realized that they were just Corrupt Lawyers and Politicians." However, the "playbook" worked in France, setting a dangerous precedent worldwide for Freedom of Speech.

"The Witch Hunt against Marine Le Pen is another example of European Leftists using Lawfare to silence Free Speech, and censor their Political Opponent, this time going so far as to put that Opponent in prison. It is the same “playbook” that was used against me by a group of Lunatics and Losers, like Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, and Lisa Monaco. They spent the last nine years thinking of nothing else, and they FAILED, because the People of the United States realized that they were only Corrupt Lawyers and Politicians."

Praise for Le Pen

Trump, next, praised Le Pen, stressing the "hard work" the French politician has been doing for years. And he called it "bad for France" that she ended up sentenced to jail and disqualified for "a minor charge that she probably knew nothing about." The U.S. president also noted that the timing is not coincidental, since the conviction comes "just before what would be a great victory."

"I don't know Marine Le Pen, but I appreciate how hard she has worked for so many years. She suffered losses, but she kept going, and now, just before what would be a great victory, she is accused of a minor charge that she probably knew nothing about. This is all very bad for France and the great French people, no matter which side they are on. FREE MARINE LE PEN!"
