The conviction of French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, which bars her from holding public office for five years, is “a very big deal,” Trump said.
Le Pen, leader of the National Rally party and one of the best-known figures in far-right European politics, was found guilty in Paris yesterday of embezzling European Union funds and sentenced to four years in prison. She had been considered a front-runner in France’s 2027 presidential election, campaigning in part on anti-immigration and other policies that have drawn comparisons to Trump.
“That’s a big deal. That’s a very big deal,” Trump said from the Oval Office yesterday evening. “I know all about it, and a lot of people thought she wasn’t going to be convicted of anything.”
“But she was banned for running for five years, and she’s the leading candidate. That sounds like this country, that sounds very much like this country,” Trump continued, in an apparent reference to the multiple legal cases he faced before returning to office.
Le Pen’s lawyer said she would appeal the verdict, though she will remain ineligible for office in the meantime.
