The widow of Haiti's assassinated President Jovenel Moïse testified in a US federal court about the 2021 killing that left her wounded and her husband dead.

Martine Moïse described being shot during the attack at their residence as four defendants face conspiracy charges in connection with the assassination. The testimony represents a key moment in the ongoing legal proceedings related to the high-profile killing.

Jovenel Moïse served as Haiti's last elected president before his death in July 2021. The assassination occurred at the presidential residence in Port-au-Prince, leaving the Caribbean nation in political turmoil.

The trial is taking place in US federal court, where the four defendants are charged with conspiracy related to the president's killing. The case has drawn significant attention given its implications for Haiti's political stability and ongoing crisis.

Moïse's death created a power vacuum in Haiti, which was already struggling with gang violence, economic instability, and political unrest. The country has faced mounting challenges in the years since the assassination, with no elected president currently in office.
