House Speaker Mike Johnson found himself tangled in his own rhetoric when confronted with President Donald Trump’s admission that he didn’t know the crypto billionaire he’d recently pardoned.
CNN’s Manu Raju pressed Johnson on Capitol Hill about the apparent contradiction between his past attacks on President Joe Biden’s use of clemency and Trump’s own on-air confession during his 60 Minutes interview Sunday.
“Last week, you came here to these mics and you were very critical of Joe Biden’s use of the auto pen. You said he didn’t even know who he was pardoning, but last night on 60 Minutes, President Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?” Raju asked Monday.
