Trump Calls for Pardon of Netanyahu
US President Donald Trump suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently on trial in three corruption cases, should be pardoned.
Netanyahu and his wife Sara are accused of accepting over $260,000 worth of luxury goods, including cigars, jewelry, and champagne, from billionaires in exchange for political favors.
"Cigars and champagne, who the hell cares about that?"
Trump made this statement, jokingly downplaying the accusations, while also praising Netanyahu as one of Israel's greatest wartime leaders.
