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.
