Johnson Twists Words to Excuse Trump in Epstein Files
"House Speaker Mike Johnson served up a muddled defense of Donald Trump on Sunday as he tried to explain away the president’s appearances in a fresh tranche of Epstein files.
Johnson insisted on NBC’s Meet the Press that Trump has “never had any concern” about making the Epstein materials public—prompting moderator Kristen Welker to note that Trump previously dismissed the files as a “Democratic hoax” in a bid to stop their release.
