Speaker Johnson to attend Trump trial in Manhattan in show of support

Fox News

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is expected in downtown Manhattan on Tuesday morning to show solidarity with former President Trump during his criminal trial.

Johnson’s office told Fox News Digital early on Tuesday that he would be in New York City for the trial, making him the latest Trump ally in Congress to appear beside the ex-president in the Manhattan Criminal Court.

He’s expected to be there at the same time as Vivek Ramaswamy, the former 2024 Republican primary candidate-turned-possible Trump running mate choice.

The former president is on trial over charges linked to alleged hush money payments made to two women, who claimed to have affairs with Trump, before the 2016 election.
