Biden faces death penalty for discussing assassination attempt on Putin, State Duma says
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.With an impeachment and a US Senate trial along the way, this outcome is very unlikely. [Regnum] According to American laws, an assassination attempt on the Russian president could result in the accused being executed in the electric chair, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said on Wednesday, January 29.  At a plenary session of the lower house of parliament, he commented on statements by journalist Tucker Carlson about the possible participation of former US President Joseph Biden and former Secretary of State Antony Blinken in discussing the assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin. "This is a crime. Let them prove that this is a country of democracy. Let Biden go to the electric chair with Blinken, then the whole world will see - this is democracy. And if they keep silent, drag it out, well then don't open your mouth and don't teach anyone," Volodin said. He also responded that such information should be taken seriously and given an immediate and firm response. OK As reported by the Regnum news agency, Carlson had previously spoken about the US administration's attempts to kill the Russian president and called these attempts "madness." He placed special responsibility on Blinken, who, according to Carlson, effectively ran the US state in the last months of Biden's rule and did everything to speed up the start of a war between Russia and the US. Carlson did not provide evidence of the US administration's intentions to kill the Russian president, and it is better not to trust unsubstantiated information, Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov told journalists. At the same time, he noted that the special services are constantly taking all necessary measures to ensure public safety and the safety of persons under state protection, and first and foremost the president.
