Marjorie Taylor Greene Slams Mike Johnson For Observing Trump Hush Money Case Instead Of 'Defunding' Jack Smith — Faces Sharp Backlash From X Users
What Happened: On Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) expressed her disapproval of House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) actions amidst former President Donald Trump's ongoing hush money trial. Greene suggested that the Speaker should be focusing on defunding Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice Jack Smith, rather than observing the former president's trial.
发生了什么：周二，众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林（R-Ga.）表示不赞成众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（R-La.）在前总统唐纳德·特朗普正在进行的秘密金钱审判中采取的行动。格林建议，议长应该集中精力向美国司法部特别顾问杰克·史密斯退款，而不是观察前总统的审判。
The Speaker of the House should be defunding Jack Smith instead of watching Pres Trump be persecuted by a NY corrupt DA in a politically weaponized judge's courtroom.

Pathetic.
众议院议长应该向杰克·史密斯退款，而不是看着特朗普总统在政治武器化的法官法庭上受到纽约腐败检察官的迫害。

太可悲了。
Greene's post on X, formerly Twitter, was a reaction to a post by journalist Jake Sherman, who shared a photo from Trump's trial in which Speaker Johnson can be seen second in line behind Trump.
格林在X（前身为Twitter）上发布的帖子是对记者杰克·谢尔曼的帖子的回应。杰克·谢尔曼分享了特朗普审判中的一张照片，在这张照片中，可以看到议长约翰逊排在第二位，仅次于特朗普。
The trial involves allegations of Trump falsifying business records, with key witness Michael Cohen testifying Monday about a $130,000 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels on behalf of Trump.
该审判涉及特朗普伪造商业记录的指控，主要证人迈克尔·科恩周一作证说，他代表特朗普向****明星斯托米·丹尼尔斯支付了13万美元。
Why It Matters: Greene's call to defund Smith is not new. She previously accused Smith of interfering in the 2024 presidential election and violating Trump's first amendment rights. Greene has also been vocal in defending Trump in the hush money trial, despite her attempts sometimes backfiring.
为何重要：格林呼吁向史密斯退款并不是什么新鲜事。她此前曾指责史密斯干涉2024年总统大选并侵犯特朗普的第一修正案权利。格林也一直在安静的金钱审判中大声为特朗普辩护，尽管她的尝试有时适得其反。
Smith, in his role as special counsel, has been involved in the case concerning Trump's handling of classified documents. A user on X pointed out to Greene that the special counsel has "nothing to do with this case."
史密斯以特别顾问的身份参与了有关特朗普处理机密文件的案件。X上的一位用户向格林指出，特别顾问 “与此案无关”。
Jack Smith has nothing to do with this case, weirdo.

杰克·史密斯与这个案子无关，怪人。
