House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was visibly nervous to respond to a question from ABC’s Jon Karl about Elon Musk’s claim that President Donald Trump is in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

In an interview on ABC’s This Week Sunday, Karl pressed Johnson to address why the files have not been made public despite some Republicans in the House clamoring for their release.

“Do you know what [Musk is] talking about with the Epstein files?” Karl asked Johnson. “And why haven’t those files been released?

Johnson squirmed at the query — shaking his head and swallowing hard as he delivered the same non-response as FBI Director Kash Patel did three days earlier when confronted on the topic by Joe Rogan. “As Kash said, ‘that’s not my lane,'” Johnson replied with a nervous laugh. “I don’t know. I can tell you that we have no concern about President Trump or his involvement in any of that nonsense.”

1. The Republicans would have released them if it was a Democrat along with parades and fireworks.

2. "Nonsense?"

Tomfoolery?

[slightlv]

3. Yeah... notice how often whenever they are caught in crime,

it's downgraded by the words used to describe the act. Nonsense... your "tomfoolery"... mischief... etc. Doesn't change the essence of the meaning, but it does make it sound like something 12 yo boys do on their summer vacations.

Frankly, I think we need to get rid of all the testosterone in the WH and administrative offices. Our country simply cannot afford to be ruled by a gender who is subject to such a highly volatile emotional state!

[Hekate]

4. So that is a "yes, " Li'l Pervy? Makes you all hot & bothered?

5. I am guessing Mr Best Christian on Earth is not done looking at the videos

of grown men fucking 12 year olds yet.

6. "Johnson squirmed at the inquiry."

Well that is what worms do.
