Liz Cheney, Marjorie Taylor Greene rip Mike Johnson for attending Trump's NY trial: ‘I cheated on my wife…'

Hindustan Times  

US House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday arrived in New York to attend former president Donald Trump's hush money trial, marking a remarkable moment in the country's politics. Johnson's appearance to support Trump drew backlash from some Republican leaders, including former Representative Liz Cheney and Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Addressing the media, he used his powerful position to slam the US judicial system and label the hush money trial against Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for 2024, as an illegitimate “sham.” The House Speaker, who is second in line for the presidency, described the justice system as “corrupt.” He went on to describe that "this ridiculous prosecution that is not about justice" but "it's all about politics." Greene calls Johnson's appearance at Trump's hush money trial ‘pathetic’ Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene, an avid critic of Johnson, resorted to X to express her displeasure over NY trial attendance, arguing that the US House Speaker should instead be dismissing the Department of Justice's special counsel Jack Smith.
