Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz become latest MAGA faithfuls to show up for Trump

MAGA lawmakers Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz have become the latest Donald Trump loyalists to show up in support of the former president at his criminal hush money trial in New York.

Colorado Rep Ms Boebert and Florida Rep Mr Gaetz rocked up to Manhattan criminal court on Thursday morning, where Mr Trump is on trial charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records over a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Shortly before the day’s court proceedings began, Ms Boebert <a rel=«nofollow» target="_blank" href=«https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1791090683450671587?ref_src=» https:>took to X

to ponder whether she would “run into Judge Merchan’s daughter”.

“She’s probably too busy being paid millions and millions of dollars by Democrat campaigns all across the country and won’t be able to make it,” Ms Boebert wrote – a reference to Mr Trump’s unsuccessful attempt to have the judge recused from the case by claiming his daughter, who worked for Democratic campaigns, created a conflict of interest. 

Mr Gaetz, meanwhile, resorted to echoing Mr Trump’s infamous – and widely-condemned – call to far-right extremists the Proud Boys in the run-up to the 2020 election.

“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” he posted on X.

Inside the courtroom, the two members of Congress sat in the first row behind the defense table. Mr Gaetz sat next to Mr Trump’s son, Eric Trump, occasionally chatting to him.

Their appearance comes after a busy week of Mr Trump surrogates putting in appearances at the court and delivering scathing attacks on Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter on the former president’s behalf – something that the gag order bans Mr Trump from doing himself.
