# US president Donald Trump says the ongoing corruption trial against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a witch hunt. The 75-year-old was indicted in 2019 on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. He is accused of accepting tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of cigars and champagne from a billionaire Hollywood producer in exchange for assisting him with personal and business interests. On Truth Social, Trump says the trial should be cancelled or Netanyahu be granted a pardon, as he has done so much for Israel.
