House Speaker Mike Johnson (Lou.) claimed on camera that President Donald J. Trump was an FBI informant trying to help take down Jeffery Epstein. President Trump has called the cry for the release of additional information on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation to be a “hoax” stirred up by Democrats. A spokesman for Speaker Johnson clarified Johnson's statement Saturday, saying he was reiterating what an attorney had previously stated. Speaker Johnsonsaid, "He is horrified. It has been misrepresented. He is not saying that what Epstein did is a hoax. It is a terrible, unspeakable evil. He believes that himself. When he first heard the rumor, he kicked (Epstein) out of Mar-a-Lago. He was an FBI informant to try to take down this stuff. The president knows and has great sympathy for the women who have suffered these unspeakable harms. It is detestable to him."
