A Republican politician said that Donald Trump was an ‘FBI informant’ on Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump has been embroiled in the Epstein drama of late amid reports he was once friends with the disgraced financier, who was charged with sex trafficking in 2019.

But before Epstein could be sentenced, he was found dead in his prison cell. There are still conspiracy theories over this death and whether it was suicide or something else.

Since returning to office in January, Trump pledged to release documents relating to Epstein, but failed to share them all.

There have since been suggestions that the president and his team have kept some of the files sealed because they implicate Trump, who once hailed Epstein as a ‘terrific guy’.

But after mounting pressure, more documents on Epstein were released in recent days made up of more than 33,000 pages. The files disclosed limited new information, however.

While Trump was once pals with Epstein, the pair had an apparent falling out and at the time of Epstein’s 2019 arrest, Trump said he hadn’t spoken to the high-profile financier for 15 years, PBS News reported.

Not only did they fall out, Trump was supposedly an ‘FBI informant’ on Epstein.

Making such remarks was US House speaker, Mike Johnson. He told reporters last Thursday (September 4), per The Guardian: “[Trump] was an FBI informant to try and take this stuff down.”

Johnson also claimed that Trump had been ‘misrepresented’ and that the ‘hoax’ he keeps referring to when it comes to Epstein is ‘the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him’.

But Johnson has since backtracked on his remarks about Trump being an ‘informant’.

“What I was referring to in that long conversation was what the [Epstein] victims’ attorney said,” he told reporters when asked further about his comments made last week.

Johnson continued, as per CNN: “More than a decade ago, President Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago, and he was one of the only people, one of the only prominent people, as everyone has reported … that he was willing to help law enforcement go after this guy who was a disgusting child abuser, sex trafficker, all the allegations. That’s what they heard. So the president was helpful in that.”

Johnson went on to admit that he was unsure if he ‘used the right terminology’ when calling Trump a so-called informant, but insisted that it’s ‘common knowledge’ that Trump wanted to help bring Epstein down.

“This is much ado about nothing,” the House Speaker concluded.
