Mike Johnson says Supreme Court should undo Trump's conviction

As Donald Trump reels from his criminal conviction, House Speaker Mike Johnson said the Supreme Court — which is facing congressional scrutiny over two justices’ ethics issues — should “step in” and overturn Trump’s guilty verdict. “There’s a lot of developments yet to come, but I do believe the Supreme Court should step in, obviously,” the Louisiana Republican told “Fox & Friends” on Friday.

” But that the House speaker would express such confidence about how the high court might rule does little to inspire confidence in an institution that is dealing with multiple ethics scandals, accusations of politicization and near-record low levels of public trust. What’s more, Johnson’s talk of his chumminess with several justices appears to undermine Chief Justice John Roberts’ justification for refusing to meet with Senate Democrats over Justice Samuel Alito’s flag controversies.
