2:44Now PlayingHouse Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told reporters at the Capitol on Friday that President Donald Trump was an FBI informant in the case against convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Johnson was asked to respond to Trump’s recent comments on Epstein, calling the ongoing saga "a hoax."
"What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him," Johnson said.
"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," he continued. "The president knows, and has great sympathy for the women who suffered these unspeakable harms. It’s detestable to him."
It’s the first time an official has claimed Trump was an FBI informant in the case. The White House has not commented on Johnson’s remarks.
