U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson is assailing the U.S. judicial system as the the highest-level Republican to show up at court with Donald Trump for his hush money trial. The presence of the House leader at Trump’s felony trial in New York on Tuesday serves as a remarkable moment in modern American politics. Johnson is leading his Republican Party against the U.S. system by declaring Trump’s felony trial to be a sham. He claims Democrats are trying to hurt Trump’s chances in the presidential election. Also with the presumptive GOP nominee on Tuesday were U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. Republicans are laying the groundwork to potentially challenge the 2024 election results.
