House Speaker Mike Johnson disclosed Friday that President Donald Trump had previously worked with the FBI as an informant in efforts to expose disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Johnson made the remarks while speaking to reporters at the U.S. Capitol.
“He was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down,” Johnson said, emphasizing that Trump had taken the allegations about Epstein seriously from the outset.
“He’s not saying that what Epstein did was a hoax. It’s a terrible, unspeakable evil. He believed that himself when he first heard the rumor, he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago, he was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down.”
Johnson added that Trump has long expressed sympathy for Epstein’s victims.
“The President knows and has great sympathy for the women who suffered these unspeakable harms. It’s detestable to him. He and I have spoken about it as recently as 24 hours ago,” Johnson said.
With this new revelation it’s become clear that President Trump is the undisputed hero in the Epstein saga.

In recent weeks, Democrats have accused Trump of attempting to obscure Epstein’s crimes and of having once been part of his circle.
Trump has rejected those accusations, and no evidence has surfaced over the years tying him to Epstein’s criminal activities.
Trump expelled Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club around 2007, issuing him a lifetime ban.
That decision has often been cited by Trump and his allies as proof that he distanced himself from Epstein after learning about the allegations.
Meanwhile, congressional interest in Epstein’s network has intensified.
Lawmakers have been seeking additional information from the Department of Justice regarding what was known about Epstein and his associates.
Earlier this year, Congress released more than 33,000 pages of documents related to the case.
Victims of Epstein also continue to push for accountability.
Several alleged victims appeared at a press conference on the steps of the Capitol, where they announced plans to compile their own list of individuals they identified as associates of Epstein.

Their effort comes amid ongoing public scrutiny over who may have been linked to Epstein and how his operations continued for years without full exposure.
In addition, a recent interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of Epstein, added further context.
Speaking from a prison in Tallahassee, Florida, Maxwell said she did not believe Trump was involved in any misconduct connected to Epstein.
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of sex trafficking underage girls to Epstein and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
She has since been transferred to a federal facility in Texas.
The new disclosures, along with Johnson’s comments, highlight the continuing political and legal reverberations from the Epstein case.
While Epstein’s death in 2019 ended the criminal proceedings against him, questions remain about his extensive network, the scope of his crimes, and the accountability of those who associated with him.
The problem here is the fear of costly lawsuits brought by bad people with a nearly endless supply of money and access to the best lawyers and news reporters. These victims will be sued, canceled, and bankrupted in every way possible, even if everything they say is correct.
So now that it has been revealed that Trump was there as an informant and to gather evidence, can we please move on? Yeah…. probably not! Those who wanna hate or still going to hate!
Sadly, the left is now claiming that to be an informant, Trump had to actually have sex with minors to gain evidence. You can’t make this stuff up, yet they continue to do so.
So what? What Trump did does not matter when the guilty escape unpunished. Either admit Ghislaine is in prison for nothing, or admit there was victims and go after the perps. It isn’t about hate, it’s about justice.
