The White House condemned the poisoning of Vladimir Putin critic Alexei Navalny as “completely reprehensible,” hours after the German government confirmed the presence of nerve agent Novichok on the Russian opposition leader’s body. Alexei Navalny’s poisoning is completely reprehensible. Russia has used the chemical nerve agent Novichok in the past,” National Security Council spokesman John Ullyot said in a statement on Twitter. In a statement, the laboratory that carried out the toxicology tests said there was "unequivocal evidence of a chemical nerve agent" present. The Kremlin said Wednesday it hadn’t been informed yet of Navalny being poisoned with a nerve agent.
