U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said on Sunday he believed the approaching vote on releasing Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein should help put to rest allegations that Donald Trump had any connection to the late sex offender’s abuse and trafficking of underage girls.

“They’re doing this to go after President Trump on this theory that he has something to do with it. He does not,” Johnson, the Republican leader in the House, said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Although Trump and Epstein were photographed together decades ago, the president has said the two men fell out prior to Epstein’s convictions.

Trump has since instructed the Department of Justice to investigate prominent Democrats’ ties to Epstein.

    They both tried to fuck over the other in a real estate deal.

    The auctioneer actually talked about it, both tried to get him to break the rules of the auction in order to get a leg up, and both bad-mouthed the other to him.

    Anyway Trump won, which Epstein took offense to, and then Epstein started poaching girls from Trump’s properties.

    Did you know that Trump had his own child sex trafficking organization separate from Epstein?

    Look up Trump Model Management. It was only closed in 2017.
