Shameful Day According to Speaker Johnson on Trump Guilty Verdict
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., criticized the guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump on Thursday, calling it a “shameful day in American history.”
Johnson shared his statement on X following a jury finding Trump guilty on all 34 counts in his business records trial.
“Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats celebrated as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on absurd charges, based on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon. This was purely a political move, not a legal one,” Johnson wrote.
“The politicization of our justice system has been a key feature of the Biden Administration, and today’s decision is further proof that Democrats will do whatever it takes to silence dissent and defeat their political rivals.”
Trump is set to be sentenced on July 11.
“The public views this as lawfare, and they understand that it’s unjust – and dangerous. President Trump will appeal this ridiculous verdict, and he WILL PREVAIL!” Johnson concluded.
