WASHINGTON ― Republicans in Congress have found a new way to prove their loyalty to Donald Trump : flock to New York City and attack the U.S. legal system at the courthouse where his criminal hush money trial is underway.
“This is a made-up crime!” Rep. Matt Gaetz falsely claimed at the press event with Boebert. He accused one of the witnesses in the case, Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen, of lying. He referred to the judge, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, as “this corrupt judge” and accused his family members of being corrupt, too.
“I called President Trump and told him I wanted to be here myself to call out what is a travesty of justice,” Johnson said atoutside the courthouse. “This is the fifth week that President Trump has been in court for this sham of a trial.” Beyond trying to ingratiate themselves with Trump, some Republicans are showing up to his trial because they’re auditioning to be his vice presidential pick. They include former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Sen. J.D. Vance and Sen. Tim Scott .
