Michael Cohen returns for more grilling from defense in hush money trial
The group of Trump’s House allies present at court today spoke outside the courthouse, calling the charges against Trump a “scam” and pledging their support to the former president.
“This is a made-up crime,” Gaetz said during the short news conference.
“No other American in the country would be charged with this type of crime. It’s like the Mr. Potato Head doll of crimes where they had to stick together a bunch of things that did not belong together,” he continued.
“President Trump is not going anywhere,” the congresswoman said. “He’s coming back for another four years. And we are not going anywhere either, we are here to stand with him as he stands up for you, the American people.”
Gaetz and Boebert spoke alongside Reps. Bob Good, R-Va.; Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.; Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla.; Mike Waltz, R-Fla.; Andy Ogles, R-Tenn.; Diana Harshbarger, R-Tenn.; Eli Crane, R-Ariz.; Ralph Norman, R-S.C.; and Michael Cloud, R-Texas.
