Former House Speaker Paul Ryan said an indictment would help Donald Trump’s 2024 bid and that he is rooting for anyone but the former president this time around.
Ryan, speaking Tuesday at Finseca’s annual Advanced Markets conference, was asked about Trump’s possible indictment from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. Reports indicate that Trump may be arrested this week over an alleged $130,000 hush money payment wired to porn star Stormy Daniels right before the 2016 elections.“You know, I wouldn’t have had the relationship with the porn star in the first place,” Ryan said, drawing laughter from the crowd.
Ryan, who was the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2012, also asserted that he is a “never-again Trumper.” He said he opposes Trump because he wants the Republican Party to win. Without Congress acting, nearly two dozen tax provisions that were part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are set to sunset after 2025, affecting households and small businesses. Republicans have made extending portions of the tax law a top priority, although doing so will likely not happen in the near term, as Democrats control both the Senate and the White House.
Looking ahead, Ryan said control over Congress once again comes down to who is leading the Republican ticket.
