House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is now trying to claim that President Donald Trump, at one point, was actually an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein.

The Daily Mail reports that Johnson made the claim while recently speaking with reporters in the halls of Congress.

If true, this would seem to further exonerate Trump from any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, not that any such evidence has come to light.

With this new revelation it’s become clear that President Trump is the undisputed hero in the Epstein saga.

Trump, an FBI informant?!

Johnson made the revelation in response to a question about Trump referring to the Epstein files controversy as a Democrat-invented Hoax.

The Daily Mail reports Johnson as saying;

What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him. 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.

It was at this point that Johnson claimed that Trump was an informant for the FBI against Epstein.

The House speaker said:

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.

Johnson, of course, is saying that Trump kicked Epstein out.

The latest

The Trump administration has faced significant scrutiny for its handling of the Epstein situation, with many accusing the administration of perpetuating the alleged cover-up of the wrongdoings of Epstein and his accomplices.

There is a bipartisan effort in Congress to get to the bottom of the situation.

Breitbart News reports that, recently, thousands of pages have been released from the Epstein files. Most of it, however, had already been seen before.

The Washington Examiner reports that some members of Congress are considering whether or not to reveal the names of Epstein's clients on the floor of the House of Representatives. Whether or not this will happen, remains to be seen.

One of the biggest questions of all, of course, is whether Epstein kept a client list. The Trump administration claims that he did not, but this has been disputed.
