“What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him,” Johnson said, claiming the president’s feelings on the topic had been “misrepresented.” “He is not saying what Epstein did is a hoax. It’s a terrible, unspeakable evil, and he believes that himself. When he first heard the rumor, he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago.”

Johnson then added the head-scratching claim that Trump “was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down.”

According to five Trump administration officials and others close to the president, Johnson’s “informant” claim on Thursday sparked widespread confusion within the ranks of Trump’s government, with several senior officials blindsided or just completely perplexed by what the Trump-aligned House speaker could have possibly meant.

“What the hell is he doing?” one senior Trump administration appointee told Rolling Stone, after being asked about the Johnson “informant” comment.
