House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will lead a “three-pronged approach” to reforming a justice system Republicans say has been weaponized against former President Donald Trump and other Republicans.

Announcing the plan at a June 4 press conference, Mr. Johnson said House Republicans would wield the power of the purse, other legislation, and the chamber’s oversight authorities to protect the integrity of the American justice system.
