Mike Huckabee makes a surprise appearance at Netanyahu's corruption trial but was quickly asked to leave

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made a surprise appearance at Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial on Wednesday. Huckabee said he dropped in on Netanyahu’s trial to “see what’s going on” but was asked to leave after proceedings were moved behind closed doors.

It comes after President Donald Trump vowed to “save Netanyahu” as he hit out at the Israeli leader’s “witch-hunt” corruption trial.

“Why did I come? I wanted to see what’s going on. I’m watching, it’s an open trial,” Huckabee said outside Tel Aviv District Court.

Trump claimed Israel’s prime minister was a “great hero” and “warrior” who faced politically motivated charges and called for the trial to be cancelled. Huckabee later wrote on social media: “I stopped by the trial of @IsraeliPM in Tel Aviv today. My conclusion? @realDonaldTrump is right…again.”

Because Netanyahu decided to attack another country in order to avoid accountability.

relative to our corrupt guy. Good for the Israeli's for even having a trial while he is in office.

Gov. Fuckabee had the cop that wouldn't sweep it under the rug fired.

Nothing to do with this story, but I just think it should be retold.
