U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made a surprise appearance at Benjamin Netanyahus corruption trial on Wednesday. Huckabee said he dropped in on Netanyahus trial to see whats going on but was asked to leave after proceedings were moved behind closed doors.
It comes after President Donald Trump vowed to save Netanyahu as he hit out at the Israeli leaders witch-hunt corruption trial.
Why did I come? I wanted to see whats going on. Im watching, its an open trial, Huckabee said outside Tel Aviv District Court.
Trump claimed Israels prime minister was a great hero and warrior who faced politically motivated charges and called for the trial to be cancelled. Huckabee later wrote on social media: I stopped by the trial of @IsraeliPM in Tel Aviv today. My conclusion? @realDonaldTrump is right
again.

Nothing to do with this story, but I just think it should be retold.
