MAGA Slams Mike Johnson for Going to Trump's Trial

Supporters of former president Donald Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement criticized Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday for attending Trump's criminal hush money trial in New York.

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a frequent foil for Johnson, took to X, formerly Twitter, to share her disapproval stating that Johnson should instead be defunding the Department of Justice's (DOJ) special counsel Jack Smith.

"The Speaker of the House should be defunding Jack Smith instead of watching Pres Trump be persecuted by a NY corrupt DA in a politically weaponized judge's courtroom. Pathetic.," Greene wrote on X.

Smith has led the federal DOJ investigation against Trump for alleged election interference. In August, the former president was indicted on four counts in that case, accused of attempting to overturn the results of his 2020 election loss to Biden in the run-up to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
