Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the wiretapping scandal engulfing Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto's government is not merely a local issue but a direct consequence of Trump's influence on global politics. The prosecution alleges that the very fabric of democracy is being threatened as foreign powers, emboldened by Trump's rhetoric, engage in espionage.
