This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Trump continued to question the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Sunday, after being criticized for not explicitly blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for what many Western leaders believe was an assassination.
President Biden and other Western leaders have said Putin is responsible, though Trump has so far avoided saying the same.
The former president spoke about Navalny’s death in a Fox News “MediaBuzz” interview with Howard Kurtz, which aired Sunday.
When pressed by Kurtz on Navalny’s prior attempted assassination by poisoning, Trump again declined to be definitive.
Those comments were thoroughly criticized by both Democrats and Republicans, with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) calling them “beneath the dignity of a human being.”
At noon on Sunday, thousands of Russians flocked to polls at the same time in a protest effort against his regime.
