Post navigation President Donald Trump is being accused of inviting foreign interference in the U.S. 2020 presidential election. The Justice Department is filing an indictment that alleges senior members of his 2016 campaign had contacts with several Russian agents. Trump is denying the accusation, describing the investigation as a “witch hunt”. Alexei Navalny, an outspoken critic of Russian President Putin, has been sentenced to prison for 2 and a half years for embezzlement charges, in what is considered to be a politically motivated prosecution. The arrest of Navalny polarized the country, with some claiming that the jailing of him was an attempt by Putin to stop his presidential ambitions. The international community has called on the Kremlin to release Navalny, with some stating that it is a violation of the right to free and fair elections.
