During today's court proceedings, the former president was accompanied by a group of Republican supporters, including potential vice presidential candidates and Speaker of the House, who took the opportunity to criticize the credibility of the star witness. The former president refrained from making any direct comments due to legal restrictions.
Speaker Johnson, the second in line to the presidency, accused the witness of being driven by personal vendetta and lacking honesty, citing a history of perjury. He urged the public not to trust any statements made by the witness during the trial. Additionally, Speaker Johnson defended the former president's innocence and labeled the trial as a sham.
Following Speaker Johnson's remarks, former congresswoman and vice chair of the January 6th committee, Liz Cheney, expressed surprise at his involvement and criticized his moral standing. She questioned Speaker Johnson's membership in what she referred to as the 'I cheated on my wife with a porn star club,' suggesting a lack of concern for moral values.
Meanwhile, in New York, a significant fundraising event was held, featuring the former president and co-hosted by Jared Kushner's parents. Notable attendees included potential vice presidential candidates such as Senators Marco Rubio and Tim Scott, along with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.
