To the editor: Are you kidding me? House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Sen. JDVance (R-Ohio), Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) and others sat this week in the Manhattan courtroom where Donald Trump is being tried to show his support. for the former president. (“Michael Cohen is boring and that is a problem for Trump,” May 14 column)
How ironic that they are in the building where the Central Park Five were wrongfully convicted in 1990 but ultimately exonerated of crimes for which then-citizen Trump called for them to be executed.
Shouldn't these lawmakers be in Washington working on issues that benefit the American people?

To the editor: Michael Cohen, Trump's former longtime lawyer, testified that he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to “suppress stories about sex that he feared could torpedo his [celebrity client’s] Campaign.”
In 2024, Cohen's former boss is using this trial to raise millions of dollars, in effect publishing the very stories he originally feared would sink his 2016 presidential campaign. Talk about a turn of events.

To the editor: Perhaps the greatest irony of adult film star Stormy Daniels' testimony is that while our legal system failed to save America from Trump, a former porn star appears to be doing so.
The universe surely works in mysterious ways.
