Trump administration officials are perplexed, as many people are, by House Speaker Mike Johnson’s claims that Donald Trump was an FBI informant in the case against Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused and trafficked scores of underage girls. The president and Epstein had a well-documented friendship.
I heard about it on a youtube video a few days ago, but if I recall the claims are coming from the author of a book. I think it was a biography of Trump, but it’s been a little while and that detail was only briefly mentioned. I don’t think there was anything concrete in terms of evidence, but the source did have a connection to both Trump and Epstein in that he interviewed them as part of his work. This wouldn’t be the first time an interviewer claimed something that turned out to be false such as the sports writer that claimed Trump Jr. told him they got all the financing they need from Russia and so don’t need US banks, but there’s also not any reason to particularly doubt the claims either.
dude i know when we’re talking about this subject like this we’re at tertiary bullshit rumors already but like do you have the video or the book because either would be a better diving off point than googling [krasnov epstein (condensing your paragraph i’ve not finished my tea) russian money laundering arrest bullshit krasnov’s fault]
It took some digging, but I found it, it’s this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTz6X5Bh_lw The relevant part is around the 12:30 mark and it’s an interview with a guy named Michael Wolff.
Thank you. I haven’t had time or headspace to watch or research this yet but it’s something interesting and the name Michael Wolff rings a bell as a credible guy.
