Mike Johnson Attends Trump’s Hush Money Trial — Declares Him ‘Innocent’

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is declaring former President Donald Trump “innocent” of the charges he is facing in his hush money trial.

On Tuesday, Johnson traveled to the courthouse where the trial is taking place in New York City and added his name to the list of Republican officials who attended part of the trial.

Speaking to reporters outside the courthouse, the top House Republican said, “The crime that they are accusing President Trump of is falsification of business records. But I think everybody knows, he is not the bookkeeper for his company.”

“President Trump is innocent of these charges. And again, anyone with common sense can understand what is happening here,” he added.

Johnson derided the “ridiculous and unprecedented gag order” for the president, which he claims prevents Trump from defending himself from “political smears from his harshest critics at the most important time.”

“ is soon to be officially the nominee of one of the major parties in our country running for president. And they have him tied up here in this ridiculous prosecution that is not about justice. It is all about 🏛️Politics, and everybody can see that,” he added.
