Johnson says Trump took Epstein rumors seriously, served as FBI informant
While defending Donald Trump’s recent comments about the Jeffrey Epstein case, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Friday that the president always took accusations against the convicted sex offender seriously and was actually an “FBI informant.”
Johnson made the shocking remarks to reporters who pressed him about Trump calling demands for additional Epstein files “the Democrat Epstein Hoax” ― even though Republicans and much of Trump’s base are also demanding their release.

If this were true Trump would have never shut up about it.
Those 13 year olds were sanctioned. He had to do them. For the greater good. /s 💩
The Greater Good.
Those 13 year old were actually FBI agents too! /s
The newest spin. Trump: "I had to have sex with those underage girls in order to save all of the other underage girls! I am the greatest american hero ever!".
"White hat" pedophile
A twitch chatter used the same term in Atrioc's stream where this was presented, saw it on YouTube and had to laugh
I suspect Trump was an FBI informant, but back in the 80s when he ratted out the Mafia, which helped build the career of Giuliani, and which opened the door to the Russian mob getting into power. And that's why criminal investigations of Trump would grind to a halt for no apparent reason.
Informants are criminals working off a debt to law enforcement to lower their sentence or avoid prosecution for their own crimes.
Are they sure this is the angle they want to take?
I wonder what excuse they’ll use next week
Not this week
More like Trump got angry that Epstein poached some of his staff, and decided to drop dime on him as retribution.
Prove it.
well you see, the evidence Trump collected led to the arrest of uhhh ummm uhhh trust me okay
Sorry but that information is classified.
Cool and since that's obviously documents just release the files.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA.
But I thought it was a "Democratic Hoax"? Now Taco was Johnny Law's man on the inside? Of the "Democratic Hoax", right? 🤣
Bullshit. He knew he was going to be implicated and stayed far as fuck away from that 100%. He was an actual informant, he would have been out there at the begins teaming that to his base and providing documentation to back that up. Not what happened at all, so we knew the truth.
It took them this long to come up with this nonsense ?
Also, informants are criminals, so is he saying Trump committed crimes but worked with the FBI to get a deal ?
Hahahahahahaha
You just can't make this shut up. Nobody, I mean nobody would believe it if you wrote it.
Your claim can be debunked by looking at r/conservative or MSN comments :(
So...was it a hoax, or was he an "informant", gay Mike? Choose one. I guess, like his sex life, he's trying to have it both ways.
So he's a rat?
So the Democratic hoax was really a sting operation that netted no Epstein files, that were totally not on Bondi's desk, so we don't need to see them? Got it.
🙄
prove it
You'd think an informant, presumably at the center of the operation, would have a better word to describe it than "hoax".
The thing that's probably true behind Johnson's bullshit is that Trump has been a rat for the FBI on and off for decades.
Why wouldn’t he say this?
Americans don’t mind. If they had serious objections and not just performative outrage, surely they would do something about it.
Stupid is as stupid does.
