House Speaker Mike Johnson joins Trump at NYC court house to protest ‘sham’ trial

House Speaker Mike Johnson went to New York on Tuesday to show his support for President Donald Trump as he faces a criminal trial at the hands of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Johnson spoke to the press in support of Trump and called the whole thing a "sham" of a trial. He spoke outside because he was not permitted to speak from inside the courthouse. No cameras have been permitted inside the court room.

"This is the fifth week that President Trump has been in court for this sham of a trial. They are doing this intentionally to keep him here and keep him off of the campaign trail," he said in his statement. 

Johnson began the statement, saying, "President Trump is a friend, and I'm here to support him."
