Russia's government has strongly denied its involvement in the mysterious poisoning of Russian politician Alexei Navalny. The nation’s state television dismissed the story, suggesting Alexie Navalny, a strong critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was poisoned at the hands of the current administration.
An investigation launched by the German government found without a doubt the anti-corruption activist was poisoned with the Soviet-era chemical agent, novichok. US President Donald Trump said, “I don’t know exactly what happened. I think it’s tragic, it’s terrible, it shouldn’t have happened. We haven’t had any proof yet”.
