Putin says Trump prosecution shows U.S. system is 'rotten'

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that what he called the "political" prosecution of former U.S. President Donald Trump showed that the U.S. political system was "rotten".

In comments at a forum in Russia's Far Eastern city of Vladivostok, Putin also said that significant changes in the U.S.-Russia relationship were unlikely regardless of who becomes the next president of the United States.
