Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Trump have built up a close working relationship since the former took the helm of the House of Representatives in October.
"I came here… today on my own to support President Trump because I am one of hundreds of millions of people and one citizen who is deeply concerned about this, so I’m glad to be here," he told reporters afterward.
