Mike Johnson: Trump Acted as an 'FBI Informant' on Epstein

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) referred to President Donald Trump as an "FBI informant" this week when pressed by CNN's Manu Raju on Trump calling the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal a "hoax."
"But Trump called it a hoax yesterday," Raju pressed Johnson, while discussing Epstein's victims and the seriousness of Epstein's sex trafficking crimes.
"What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him. He has never said or suggested or implied—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," Johnson said, adding a new element to the discussion around Trump and Epstein.
Trump's long relationship with Epstein has become a major topic of conversation in recent months as reports have linked the two, and Trump's name is reportedly included in the so-called "Epstein Files."
"The president knows and has great sympathy for the women who have suffered these unspeakable harms. It is detestable to him," fumed Johnson, adding:
He and I have spoken about this as recently as 24 hours ago. What he's talking about is the Democrats who are doing this with impure motives. If they cared so much about this, why didn't they do something during the four years of the Biden administration when the Biden DOJ had all the records?
They didn't say a word about it. Now they're doing it for political purposes—not everybody, but a lot of them. And that's what the president's frustrated about. And we all are that they're creating a hoax just like they did with the Russian dossier because they think it's going to somehow be mud thrown on him.
It's not. He has no culpability in this thing at all. The president has clean hands. He wants all the records out. He has told me that himself.
"Should he meet with the victims?" Raju pressed.
Johnson replied, "I suspect he probably will. Yeah, he has great compassion for them. The president has a very compassionate heart. He hates the fact that these women suffered those harms. He hates what Epstein is accused of and who he was. And when he recognized that, when he realized Epstein wasn't just some sort of socialite, he was an evil person and alleged to have been involved in evil schemes, and the president distanced himself, before he was president, from that, because that's not who he is. And I think he's being falsely accused and maligned, and that's a frustration of all of ours. That's what he's talking about when he says the hoax."

Mike Johnson Is Nuts – Hints of ‘Secret Agent Trump’

This whole thing about the Epstein papers is getting beyond ridiculous. Republicans and Trump are losing their minds. Of course, Trump is going to say everything and anything to push it away. Now add in something very odd regarding Trump. From AlterNet :
Trump was a confidant for the FBI. I don’t see it. And it’s for one simple reason. He can’t keep his damn mouth shut! I would think that informants would need to be *VERY* cautious in what they say and how they say it. Trump is anything *but* discreet. That is not a word in his vocabulary. Why would they recruit *him*? Really??!! Maybe he was doing a lot better in his earlier years. Who knows!!
It’s been misrepresented. Oh, really? I think not. This stuff happened, and we know it. He is *still* protesting and misdirecting and blustering. He’s going to have to figure out a way to keep them, but we know that’s going to take him down. I’ll be throwing confetti around the day it happens.
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t. This is something else for us to speculate about. And it’s not going to distract from Epstein for more than a day. The Epstein thing is bigger than I ever thought it would be, plus Trump acting as an FBI informant. Do we think this is true? I call bullshizzle. I don’t have the slightest belief in this. I hope you don’t either.
What a bizarre claim for Johnson to just toss out there. If true, why would he be authorized to divulge this information?
Things we are asked to believe (just off the top of my head):
Trump was an FBI informant of a hoax. He informed on something that didn’t happen. Or…
He is the real hero of this story, but is so humble he didn’t want anyone to know.
Or…
He had firsthand knowledge of Epstein trafficking in teenage girls, but only just enough firsthand knowledge that he somehow didn’t take part in it, or didn’t just turn a blind eye to it.
If Trump had helped bring down Epstein we would have heard about it from him every day of the past three months.
