U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., an outspoken Evangelical Christian, released a statement on X proclaiming that “Today is a shameful day in American history.” Johnson expressed concern that “Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon,” referring to Cohen. 

“This was a purely political exercise, not a legal one,” he asserted. “The weaponization of our justice system has been a hallmark of the Biden administration, and the decision today is further evidence that Democrats will stop at nothing to silence dissent and crush their political opponents. The American people see this as lawfare, and they know it is wrong — and dangerous. President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict — and he WILL WIN!”
