Things 'much much worse for Trump' after Mike Johnson opens 'can of worms': GOP strategist

U.S. President Donald Trump shakes hands with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson as he hosts a dinner with Republican members of the U.S. Congress in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 22, 2025. Earlier in the day, Johnson said he would send lawmakers home a day early for a five-week summer recess to avoid a political fight over files on disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Speaker should have stayed out of session a little longer," according to a conservative strategist who said Mike Johnson just "opened up a huge can of worms."

Johnson surprised political observers when he suggested that Trump was an "informant" for the FBI, providing information against Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child sex abuser, and it led strategist Susan del Percio, who has a history of working with Republican candidates and in Rudy Giuliani's administration, to mock the congressman's claim.

"That is big news," she said, mocking the notion of Trump as an informant on Epstein. She also noted the power of the Epstein survivors now that they have all connected in the same room, and declared that Trump is not going to escape questions about the Epstein files.

"This is getting much much worse for Trump," del Percio said. "And it's not going away any time soon."
