'You could see his face turn': CNN's John Berman struck by Mike Johnson reaction
CNN's John Berman describes the reaction from House Speaker Mike Johnson when he was asked about Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Louisiana Republican appeared Friday morning on "CNN News Central," where Berman asked him about Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewing the Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator, who was subsequently transferred to a minimum-security prison camp after saying she had never witnessed President Donald Trump behaving inappropriately with women or girls of any age.
"When I asked Johnson about Ghislaine Maxwell, I read back a quote from Maxwell's interview," Berman said. "You could actually see his face turn. I mean, he really could not possibly hold her in lower regard, so he told me he discounts everything she says. But he also went on to say some interesting things about what might happen in Congress, because there is this discharge petition that could ripen in the next few weeks from Congressman [Thomas] Massie, from your home state of Kentucky, and also [Rep.] Ro Khanna from California, and what was interesting is he really was evasive on it."
