OPINION: Le Pen is adopting the 'Donald Trump defence' at her embezzlement trial
Briefly

Marine Le Pen's defense is politically charged, framing her situation as a product of a 'deep state' conspiracy, rather than addressing the legal accusations directly.
Le Pen's testimony implies victimhood, asserting that any wrongdoing arose from shifting rules and claiming, 'Everyone was doing it,' thus attempting to deflect blame.
Despite being accused of misusing EU funds, Le Pen maintains her innocence and contends that there is no evidence of personal financial gain from the alleged misconduct.
The defense largely targets public opinion, as Le Pen seeks to delegitimize the legal actions against her by attacking the European Union and its associates.
