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.”

    “Democrats made it a political issue”

    trump literally campaigned on releasing the files. Vance promised to release the files after they took office.

    How the fuck are the people seriously trying to claim that trump is innocent, yet releasing the files would be damaging to him?

      This is such a crazy mental exercise of them to witness.

      Literally Orwell’s double thinking.
