House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., made strong statements outside the Manhattan courtroom where the criminal case of N.Y. v. Trump is ongoing. Johnson asserted that the prosecution's key witness, Michael Cohen, is driven by personal revenge.
Johnson described Cohen as a witness with a questionable history, citing instances of perjury and unreliability. He emphasized that Cohen's track record of lying to Congress, the IRS, and federal election officials undermines his credibility as a witness in the case.
