Speaker Johnson Slams Prosecution of Former President Trump
House Speaker Mike Johnson criticizes the various cases against former President Trump in New York, D.C., Florida and Georgia, calling them "sham trials." He accuses Democrats in New York of trying to make a name for themselves by bring the hush money case to trial and calls out Judge Juan Merchan for threatening to jail the former president over gag order violations. Speaker Johnson says the goal appears to be to keep Trump in the courtroom and off the campaign trail, suggesting it is "election interference" and a double standard. close
