Mike Johnson accused Democrats of ā€œcherry pick[ing] three emails out of 20,000 documentsā€ to ā€œtry and imply that the president was guilty.ā€

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 ā€œentire game plan.ā€

ā€œPresident 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,ā€ the Louisiana politician told host Shannon Bream on ā€œFox News Sunday.ā€

Johnson called the move ā€œnot surprising because the Democrats have nothing else to talk about.ā€

      No, those will stay on, it’s just certain people will be justified.

      They really trying to have the same model Russia has. Theoretically they have legislature, courts, rule of law, but not really. One person has final word on everything.
