Minute30.com .- The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has been the first influential voice of Donald Trump’s government to react to the second instance acquittal ruling in favor of former Colombian president Álvaro Uribe Vélez.

Through his social media account, the Secretary of State issued a strong message celebrating the decision:

“Colombia’s justice has prevailed as former President Uribe is acquitted after years of the political witch hunt against him and his family.”

This statement ratifies the support that former President Uribe has historically received from key figures of the Republican Party in the United States, describing the judicial process as a persecution for political purposes.
