Mrs Ghosn doesnt understand. In her nation (USA) the President has absolute control, but In Japan, the Judicial System is Independent of Cabinet. PM Abe does not control the judicial system in Japan. Let the legal system take its course Mrs Ghosn.

I thought Ghosn was French, Lebanese, and Brizilian. Trump has no authority over him.

The current occupant of the White House in Washington, DC should stay out of it, but he won’t ... he’ll have to say something even if he doesn’t understand the subject matter.

He doesn't need to prepare for his trial because as he's said, he is totally innocent of all charges. So obviously there will be no evidence and nothing to renege on later, such as why his wife is president of paper companies which money was sent to for non business transactions or why their son was also the recipient of money, too.
