The Louisiana Republican was the latest congressional Republican to show his support for the former president at his New York trial.

Washington — House Speaker Mike Johnson joined Donald Trump at a Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday to express support for the former president amid his criminal trial, which the speaker called a 'sham' and part of a broader 'partisan witch hunt' against Trump.'President Trump is innocent of these charges,' Johnson said, speaking outside the courthouse as proceedings got underway inside.

'They're losing faith in our system of justice. And the reason for that is because they see it being abused as it is being done here in New York.'Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to reimbursements for a 'hush money' payment to an adult film star before the 2016 election. He has pleaded not guilty.
