During a recent event in New York, several high-profile Republicans, including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, gathered to show support for former President Donald Trump. Trump made remarks regarding his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, accusing him of seeking personal revenge and having a history of dishonesty and perjury. Trump's statement, delivered through his allies due to a gag order preventing him from discussing witnesses or jurors, aimed to discredit Cohen's credibility.
It is evident that Trump's allies, like the Speaker of the House, are strategically echoing Trump's sentiments to circumvent the legal restrictions imposed on Trump himself. This tactic serves as a way for Trump to indirectly convey his opinions and influence public perception without violating the court's orders.
