Listen Later

Mike Johnson Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

In the past few days, Speaker Mike Johnson has been at the center of a whirlwind of political drama, most notably the long-awaited vote on releasing the Epstein files. According to ABC News, Johnson announced that the House would vote on the bill next week, but then, in a dramatic twist, the House and Senate swiftly passed the legislation, forcing the Justice Department to release its Epstein files. Johnson, who had previously resisted the move, ultimately voted for the bill, calling it a raw political exercise but saying he didn't want to be accused of opposing transparency. The Senate approved the bill unanimously, and President Trump signed it into law, ending months of tension and speculation.

Johnson has been vocal in his weekly press conferences, where he accused Democrats of sitting on the Epstein files for four years and claimed Republicans have already released over 65,000 documents, including flight logs and financial records. He argued that the Oversight Committee's work far exceeds what the discharge petition demanded. Right Side Broadcasting Network covered Johnson's press appearances, highlighting his criticism of Democrats for using the issue to deflect from other political failures and for allegedly cherry-picking documents to create a narrative against President Trump.

Johnson also addressed the government shutdown, which ended after 43 days, with Johnson crediting House and Senate Republicans for reopening the government. He emphasized the importance of regular order and allowing all members to have their voices heard, a theme he repeated in multiple public statements.

On social media, Johnson has been active, defending his actions and the Republican approach to the Epstein files. He has also faced criticism from some within his own party, particularly from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who accused him of betraying the MAGA movement by initially opposing the bill.
