Mike Johnson accused Democrats of “cherry pick[ing] three emails out of 20,000 documents” to “try and imply that the president was guilty.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has claimed that the Democrats rushing toward a vote next week to release files linked to the sex trafficking investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is a part of the party’s “entire game plan.”

“President Trump has clean hands. He’s not worried about it. I talk to him all the time. He has nothing to do with this. He’s frustrated that they’re turning it into a political issue,” the Louisiana politician told host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.”

Johnson called the move “not surprising because the Democrats have nothing else to talk about.”

    Does he know something we don’t know? Like they’ve already destroyed evidence or some other tactic to hide his obvious guilt. Trump sycophants are leading the CIA, FBI, DOJ. I have zero trust or faith in our system. No rule of law for the elites, no checks and balances.

    Trump is guilty and belongs in prison along with everyone covering for him.
