I think it's under-reported how much Peruvians and South Americans generally consider the Pope to be fully Peruvian. They don't forget where he comes from, they just don't care. That is how well he integrated himself. He has all Francis's power in that world, and North America too.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.
But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.
