House Speaker Mike Johnson just dropped a bombshell that’s got Washington buzzing with speculation and skepticism.
The Daily Caller reported that on Friday, September 5, 2025, Johnson made the stunning claim that President Donald Trump acted as an FBI informant to help dismantle the criminal network of Jeffrey Epstein, while also defending Trump’s recent remarks labeling the Epstein narrative as a political “hoax” aimed at tarnishing his reputation.
Let’s rewind a couple of days to Wednesday, September 3, 2025, when Trump told reporters he’d rather focus on “the greatness of our country” than entertain what he called the “Epstein hoax.”
Now, before the progressive crowd jumps to conclusions, Johnson was quick to clarify that Trump wasn’t downplaying Epstein’s vile crimes but instead pointing fingers at Democrats for weaponizing the saga to score cheap political points. Isn’t it convenient how certain narratives get twisted to fit an agenda?
Johnson doubled down with a jaw-dropper, asserting, “He was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down.” If true, that’s a plot twist Hollywood couldn’t dream up, though no official has ever backed this claim before, leaving plenty of room for doubt.
The White House, unsurprisingly, has stayed mum on Johnson’s revelation. One can only imagine the internal debates over how to address this curveball without fueling more media frenzy.
Adding another layer, Johnson emphasized Trump’s personal disgust with Epstein’s actions, stating, “The president knows, and has great sympathy for the women who suffered these unspeakable harms.” That’s a necessary reminder—let’s not lose sight of the real victims amid the political mudslinging.
Johnson also pointed out that Trump didn’t hesitate to boot Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after catching wind of troubling rumors. That’s not the action of a complicit bystander, no matter how the left tries to spin it.
Yet, the lack of corroboration for Johnson’s informant claim raises eyebrows. Without hard evidence, this risks becoming just another talking point in an already polarized debate.
Meanwhile, the Epstein controversy isn’t cooling off anytime soon, as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are pushing for full disclosure of Justice Department files related to the financier, who died in jail in 2019. The public deserves answers, not endless speculation.
On the same day Trump made his “hoax” remark, a bipartisan group of lawmakers stood with 10 Epstein victims at a press conference, demanding Congress vote on legislation to release all pertinent documents. That’s a rare unity in Washington—perhaps a sign of how deeply this issue cuts.
Johnson himself faces mounting pressure from both parties to bring the transparency bill to a floor vote. Will he bend to the bipartisan call or hold firm under party lines? That’s a tightrope worth watching.
Adding fuel to the fire, Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly informed Trump that his name appears multiple times in Epstein case documents. While the administration insists no client list exists, that detail alone keeps the rumor mill churning.
Let’s be clear: the Epstein case is a stain on our justice system, and the victims’ suffering must remain the focus, not partisan gamesmanship. Johnson’s defense of Trump may resonate with supporters, but it’s a risky play without concrete proof of FBI involvement. Transparency, not talking points, is the only way to cut through the noise.
