Republican leader
From left U.S Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and Republican Congressman Cory Mills of Florida listen as former President Donald Trump talks with reporters outside Manhattan criminal court before his trial in New York, Tuesday, May 14, 2024.
Just days after Johnson appeared outside the Manhattan courthouse and called the trial a “sham,” he attacked the courts and rule of law when 12 jurors convicted Trump after just 9.5 hours of deliberation. “Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon.
“The American people see this as lawfare, and they know it is wrong—and dangerous. President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict — and he WILL WIN!” Trump potentially faces time behind bars after the jury came back with a unanimous verdict among the 34 felony counts he faced in only the second day of deliberations.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
