House Republicans Vie For Donald Trump’s Love Amid Speaker Drama

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson used his weekly press conference on Tuesday to make a speech lamenting the various criminal cases against former President Donald Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican nominee. “These cases are a coordinated political attack, plain and simple,” Johnson said, describing Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan as an effort to keep him from campaigning. It has to stop.” Johnson’s recitation of Trump’s grievances came as he fends off a threat to his speakership led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the self-described “biggest supporter of President Trump” on Capitol Hill. “I think you’re overestimating the degree to which Trump is willing to defend Mike Johnson,” Massie told reporters on Tuesday.
