Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced a “three-pronged approach” to go after the justice system following Donald Trump’s conviction, The Hill reports.

The plan includes using the appropriations process, legislation brought to the floor and Congress’s oversight authority to take on the Justice Department.

Said Johnson: “All those things will be happening vigorously, because we have to do that, because the stakes are too high and because people are losing faith in our institutions.“
