House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed his support for the recent Supreme Court ruling that provides former President Donald Trump with limited immunity for actions taken during his presidency. Johnson described the ruling as a victory for Trump and all future presidents, while also criticizing President Biden's Department of Justice and special counsel Jack Smith.
Johnson's remarks align with Trump's assertion that the investigations led by Jack Smith were politically motivated, a sentiment that has gained traction among Republican lawmakers and justices. In response to these concerns, the House Appropriations Committee has proposed significant budget cuts amounting to nearly $1 billion for the Justice Department.
