Johnson’s victims, according to a pair of arrest affidavits, were the child of his now ex-girlfriend and a friend of the first child.
Andrew Johnson — a Jan. 6 rioter who went by "Am🇺🇸rican T🇺🇸rrorist” on Elon Musk’s platform — has been arrested on child molestation charges, with police saying he used the promise of a taxpayer-funded payout from Trump's DOJ to try and keep one of the victims silent.

This is what members are worried about ….
Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

wow. not the worst thing that's happened in this white house. but a literal tate fanboy/former tate lawyer intervened to get tate off the hook. sex predators have to look out for each other.
NEW: The White House intervened in a DHS investigation.

The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate.

The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia.

Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer.

Many worry that even with the vote to release the Epstein files, we’ll never see the real evidence.

The Epstein Files are not the Steele Dossier, a stack of documents in a manilla envelope. They are sealed records — DOJ and judiciary — locked down under the excuse of “ongoing investigations.”
