House Speaker Mike Johnson has revealed that President Donald Trump was once an ‘FBI informant’ in relation to Jeffrey Epstein‘s illegal activities.
Johnson made the stunning comments in the halls of Congress on Friday after being pressed by CNN‘s Manu Raju about Trump routinely calling the Epstein files controversy a Democrat-invented ‘hoax’.
‘What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him,’ Johnson said. ‘I’ve talked to him about this many times, many times. He is horrified. 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 was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down,’ added Johnson, which now raises new questions about Trump’s relationship with Epstein.
As recently as Wednesday, Trump called Epstein scandal a ‘hoax’ after the Department of Justice insisted in July that there was no client list.
‘This is a Democrat hoax that never ends,’ Trump told reporters at the White House.
‘From what I understand, I could check, but from what I understand, thousands of pages of documents have been given. But it’s really a Democrat hoax because they’re trying to get people to talk about something that’s totally irrelevant to the success that we’ve had as a nation since I’ve been president,’ he continued.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said President Donald Trump was an FBI information in relation to the Jeffrey Epstein case but offered no other details beyond that
Johnson offered no other details about Trump’s supposed role as an informant to the FBI on the Epstein case. He did not reveal when Trump talked to the FBI or what they talked about.
Trump’s relationship with the financier-turned-child predator has been well-documented, with Trump himself admitting that he was friendly with Epstein throughout the late 1980s and 1990s.
Trump and then girlfriend Melania were also pictured with Epstein and his sex trafficking accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell at a Mar-a-Lago party in February 2000.
