Critics described Johnson\'s defense of the ex-president as 'on brand' for the right-wing speaker of the House.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson listens as former President Donald Trump talks with reporters as he arrives for his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments linked to an extramarital affair with Stormy Daniels, at Manhattan Criminal Court on May 14, 2024, in New York City.
Critics have said that Johnson’s claims are difficult to take seriously, as Trump isn’t taking advantage of his days off to campaign., the former president was only required to be in court for 15 of those days. The majority of the remaining 12 days, he didn’t campaign at all. Critics condemned Johnson for taking the highly unusual action of weighing in on a state court case that doesn’t involve his office or home state.
