House chairman Mike Johnson said President Donald Trump acted as a “FBI informant” for Jeffrey Epstein.
CNN reporter Manu Raju questioned Johnson on Thursday about how the president often used the term “deception” in terms of Epstein. This, according to Johnson, was not associated with the reduction of minor girls’ abuse.
“What Trump says is the deception that Democrats use to try to attack it,” Johnson said.
“He never said, offered or implied – I have been talking to him many times many times. He is appalled. It was wrong,” Johnson continued. “He does not say that what Epstein has done is a deception. It is a terrible, indescribable evil. He believes he himself. When he first heard a rumor, he threw him out of Mar-a-Lago. He was a FBI informant to try to wear these materials.”
Asked to confirm his claim that Trump was a “FBI informant”, Johnson’s Daily Beast sent the following statement: “The rapporteur repeated what the victim’s lawyer said, ie Donald Trump, who pre-published Epstein for Mar-a-Lago,
The White House previously stated that short after 2006. The “sex” of the indictment threw Epseine from his Mar-a-Lago club, although it took more than a year to come into effect Griffer Club: Short, Mar-a-Lago and Presidency Sales;

In July, Trump told reporters that he had grown from Epstein when he found out he was hiring Mar-A-Lag.
“When I heard about it, I told him, I said, ‘Listen, we don’t want you to take your people – whether it was a spa or not a spa – I don’t want you to take our people,” Trump said. “And he was fine, and then he did it again shortly. And I said, ‘From here!’
Trump then said nothing about being a FBI informant.
Johnson’s note came the day after some Epstein’s victims went to Capitol Hill to encourage lawmakers such as he himself to vote to release cases related to a sex criminal who claimed to be a closest friend of Trump.
“The president also knows very compassion for women who have suffered this unspeakable damage. This despises him,” Johnson said.
“He and I talked about it 24 hours ago. What he talks about is the Democrats who do it with dirty motives. If they care about it, why didn’t they do something during the four years of the biden administration when Biden DOJ had all records?”

Johnson added that the short “hates the fact that these women suffered that damage.”
“He hates what Epstein is accused of and what he was. And when he admitted that when he realized that Epstein was not just some social, he was a bad person and was suspected to have been in bad schemes,
“And I think he is falsely accused of maliciously, and that is the frustration of all of us. That’s what he’s talking about saying deceit.”
Daily Beast contacted the White House to comment.
