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.
“Well, he—he—what he said specifically was that the hoax was Democrats trying to turn this into a political issue and use it against him,” Johnson stammered. “That was wrong.”
