GOP bigs got leader’s back

House Speaker Mike Johnson and two onetime contenders for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination backed up Donald Trump Tuesday at his hush-money trial in Manhattan.

Johnson (above) was seen standing behind Trump, 77, as the 45th president ripped the “scam” case involving a $130,000 payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election by Trump’s thenattorney Michael Cohen.

“I do have a lot of surrogates and they are speaking very beautifully, and they come from all over Washington,” Trump said of the Republicans standing behind him.

“And some are Democrats, and they’ve very embarrassed by what’s going on,” he added.

Johnson did not make an appearance in the courtroom, instead heading outside to rip Cohen and prosecutors led by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg as the ex-fixer took the stand for a second day of testimony.

“I just listened to a few moments of his testimony this morning,” the speaker told reporters of Cohen, who Johnson noted had perjured himself before Congress. “No one should believe a word he says today.”

“They are doing this intentionally to keep [Trump] here and keep him off of the campaign trail,” Johnson said, adding that the “sham” case was “not about justice and all about politics” and saying it would “provide cover” for President Biden.
