House Speaker Mike Johnson Visits Trump Trial & Bashes Prosecution

HeadlineMay 15, 2024

Prosecutors are wrapping up their case in the criminal hush money and election interference trial of former President Donald Trump. On Tuesday, Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen admitted that he misled the Federal Election Commission about hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Cohen said he did so in order to “demonstrate loyalty to Mr. Trump.” House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senator J.D. Vance and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum were among several Trump allies to show up at the New York courthouse on Tuesday and do what Trump can’t do — bash the prosecution and attack Michael Cohen’s testimony.
