Debate over the release of the government's documents related to Jeffrey Epstein raged this week, leading to an unexpected bombshell dropped by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who claimed President Trump served as an FBI informant in an investigation to take Epstein down.
From NewsNation:
Johnson made the remark Friday when a reporter asked him about the president dubbing the Epstein scandal 'the Democrat Epstein Hoax.'
'What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him,' Johnson said.
'It's been misrepresented. He's not saying that what Epstein did is a hoax. It's a terrible, unspeakable evil; he believes that himself. When he first heard the rumor, he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago.'
He went on to say, 'He was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down. The president knows ― and has great sympathy for the women who suffered these unspeakable harms. It's detestable to him.'
He was a... what now?
To say that this was the first anyone had heard of this would be an understatement. Donald Trump, FBI informant? That's a new wrinkle.
President Trump has yet to comment…
… but this should be good.
