Trump Angrily Demanded Mike Johnson Help Overturn ConvictionReport
"Donald Trump may be the first American president convicted of a felony, but he has no plans to let his conviction stand — and he’s enlisting congressional Republicans to help him undermine the case.
According to a report from Politico, shortly after his May 31 conviction, an enraged Trump called House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and treated him to an expletive-filled rant about the verdict.
“We have to overturn this,” Trump reportedly said between f-bombs.
Johnson — already in a tenuous position with certain hardline members of his party — has attempted to stave off efforts for his removal by positioning himself as a close ally to the former president. Johnson was one of a slew of House Republicans who made the pilgrimage to Manhattan to lambast the trial on Trump’s behalf, and the newly reported phone call likely set the tone for Johnson’s public statements in the aftermath of the verdict.
