House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., in New York on Tuesday, condemned the so-called hush-money criminal trial of former President Donald Trump.
Johnson blasted the trial as a βshamβ and said that itβs being used to manipulate the 2024 presidential election.
βIβm an attorney. Iβm a former litigator myself. Iβm disgusted by what is happening here,β the Louisiana lawmaker said. βWhat is being done here is being done to our entire system of justice overall.β
Johnson said the American people are βlosing faithβ in the U.S. justice system and our institutions because they see them being βabused.β
The House speaker said the facts in Trumpβs case are important, as they always are in a trial. The former presidentβs actions were βpreviously reviewed, and no charges were filed. Why is that?β Johnson asked rhetorically.
βBecause thereβs no crime here,β he said, answering his own question.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg started up this case eight years after the crime was allegedly committed, Johnson said, because βitβs painfully obvious, weβre six months out from an election day, and thatβs the reason they brought these charges here and across the country.β
Johnson noted that the legal officials in this case are all partisan Democrats.
βWhat weβve got here is a partisan Democrat district attorney. We have a [President Joe] Biden donor judge, and we have an [assistant district attorney] who was recently a top official at the Department of Justice, Bidenβs DOJ, and recently received over $10,000 in payments from the Democratic National Committee,β he said.
Bragg, who brought the charges against Trump, also is a Democrat.
Johnson said the βstar witnessβ in the Trump trial, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, is simply out for retribution.
Cohen is βclearly on a mission for personal revenge,β the Louisiana Republican said, adding that Cohen is known to be a witness who βhas had trouble with the truth.β
Cohen admitted to lying to Congress in 2017, which was among the crimes that led to his disbarment.
βThereβs nothing he presents here that should be given any weight at all by a jury and certainly not by this judge,β Johnson said.
The charge against Trump is falsification of business records, he said, βbut I think everyone knows that he is not the bookkeeper of his company.β
The House speaker said Trump is βinnocentβ in the case and that βanyone with common sense can see whatβs happening here.β
On top of everything else, Johnson said, the court has issued a gag order against Trump, which deprives the former president of his right to free speech during an election campaign. The whole trial represents a clear case where the judicial system has been weaponized against Trump, he said, and is punishing one presidential nominee while providing βcoverβ for another.
βThe American people are not going to let this stand,β Johnson said. βElection Day cannot get here soon enough, and we will continue to shine a light on all of this in Congress because we have that constitutional responsibility.β

Having served on three Manhattan juries, I would not be surprised if the 12 men and women hearingΒ New York v. Donald J. TrumpΒ acquit him of all charges.
During two civil actions and one criminal case, my fellow jurorsΒ were serious, professional, and movingly civic-minded. A quiet, solemn patriotism infused our deliberations. Several jurors said that we should respect the justice system because, someday, we might needΒ it to respect us.
My first case was a medical-malpractice lawsuit involving a botched abortion. We empathized with a woman wounded by her doctors, but her lawyer did not prove negligence. So, we backed her physicians.
βBut weβve got to give her something,β one juror insisted.
Others instantlyΒ rebuked him.
βThatβs not how it works!β one said. βI feel sorry for her, too,β another admitted. βBut her lawyerΒ neverΒ madeΒ her case.β
So,Β we sent the plaintiff home without a penny.
Next, we deliberated intensely for almost three days before concluding that a Harlem drug counselorΒ neverΒ demonstrated his defamation-of-character claim against his employers. MyΒ sympatheticΒ pleas went unheeded, and he leftΒ empty-handed.
Finally, in her closing argument,Β a criminal prosecutorΒ displayedΒ a CD-ROM of a police dispatcherβs βBe on the lookoutβ announcement after an armed robbery. When we asked the judge toΒ playΒ that recording, heΒ told us that it was not in evidence.Β
Disgusted by this prosecutorial deception, we instantly and angrilyΒ acquitted the defendants. Minutes later, as foreman, I proudly announced our verdict in court.
These three cases confirm that Manhattan juries are sober and perfectly capable of fairness.
That is good news for Trump.
A jury ofΒ levelheadedΒ Manhattanites would appreciate these facts that verify the profound vacuity and fundamental unfairness of District Attorney Alvin Braggβs βcaseβ against Trump:
βThe Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over civil enforcement,β the memo says.
Nowhere does thisΒ federal ruleΒ grant local prosecutors authority to enforce federal election laws. Thus, Braggβs case is a shack built atop a cloud of helium.Β
With 48% of registered voters telling Reuters-Ipsos last month that Trumpβs Kafkaesque cases are βexcessive and politically motivatedβ (41% disagree) even a Manhattan jury could scrap Braggβs contraption.
My memories of jury duty, including within the Stalinesque building in which Trump is being persecuted, tell me that deliberating jurors could think, βI wonβt vote for Trump. But I cannot convict him beyond a reasonable doubt in a shaky case about actions that areΒ lurid,Β but legal.β
If just one juror agrees, this case will end with a hung jury. A second trial would be unlikely before Election Day.
And if βlurid, but legalβ reflects the opinions of 12 of my fellow Manhattanitesβwho tend to be tough, but fairβthen Trump will be acquitted on all charges and go back to where he belongs: The campaign trail.
