House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had a funny reaction to the news that President Donald Trump wants the Department of Justice to give him $230 million for the money he spent defending himself against federal criminal probes and charges.
He acted like it was a completely normal request.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Trump has filed administrative complaints against the DOJ over the investigations for 2016 Russian interference claims and for mishandled classified information.
Trump pretty much admitted to reporters that the cash grab was legit.
“Well, I guess they probably owe me a lot of money for that,” he said on Tuesday hours after the Times story broke. “Probably, yeah, that’s true. That’s very interesting. No, I get no salary. I gave up my salary. It’s a good salary.”
