Live Thread: Trump's hush money trial begins in NYC
mystery-ak:
Speaker Mike Johnson will address 'sham prosecution' of Trump outside courthouse, days after surviving MTG's ouster attempt
House Speaker Mike Johnson's move to join Trump's court entourage is an extraordinary move for the man who is third in line for the presidency, and is another sign of the total embrace Trump is getting from congressional Republicans.
It comes days after days after the House rejected an effort by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to remove Johnson from office through a procedural motion.
Trump sided with the speaker in the spat, meeting with Johnson and posting in advance that 'this is not the time' to move to vacate the chair, as Greene was proposing.
The Speaker's office left no doubt which side he is on.
'The Speaker will then address media outside of the ongoing sham prosecution of President Trump,' his office announced.
'Speaker Johnson will address the political persecution of the 45th President of the United States by President Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice and the left-wing Manhattan district attorney.'

House speaker a no-show in the courtroom
By Ben Kochman
House Speaker Mike Johnson's support of Donald Trump today may be limited to the court's hallway, as he's nowhere to be seen inside the courtroom.
Trump has, by my rough count, 11 supporters in the rows of seats that are designated for him inside the room.

Michael Cohen is back on the stand - and brings testimony inside the Oval Office
Michael Cohen is back on the stand. He began his testimony with a 'good morning' to prosecutor Susan Hoffinger.
After speaking about an internal document related to invoices, he speaks about his Feb. 8, 2017 trip to the White House.
'I was stiting with President Trump. And he asked me if I was okay. He asked me if I needed money. I said no all good because I can get a check,' Cohen said.
One piece of evidence establishes that he is as giddy to be there as any tourist. Cohen is seen posing in front of the podium in the White House briefing room.
