What is the Scandinavian press making of this Trell? The UK press, which has been renowned for jumping the gun, is rife with, what I have to call rumors at this stage, that these documents contain highly classified and sensitive nuclear secrets. Trump certainly fawned over, and lamely vouched for Putin's veracity. We are only at the very beginning of an unravelling a shameful moment in US history I fear.
I believe there are a number of factors influencing the reporting.
So far the reporting here has been just that, with very little speculation from left to right. It’s a wait-and-see for more information.
That said, this is usually the case in local criminal cases. The laws here are much more restrictive of what you can publish about ongoing criminal cases, and my guess this bleeds through in this case as well.
Sweden have general elections in September, which is a factor, but even the Swedish far right parties have been neutral on this. Edit: The far right Swedish Democrats that is a member of the Swedish parliament are so far neutral. The other far right parties are very small. They are pro-Putin like the Swedish Democrats.
Then there is Russia and its brutal invasion, and none wants to rock the boat in case Republicans comes to power, never mind a second Trump presidency.
Over here we all know what a Republican takeover of the presidency could mean for our security with the current candidates. Bad, really bad.
