And they were murdered.

Mike Johnson is totally committed to covering up the Trump/Epstein Files. No matter how many members of Congress from both parties want to see the full release Mike Johnson will never allow it to come to a vote. MAGA Mike is a major player in the Trump Epstein criminal coverup conspiracy
