"summary",
"During a CNN interview, Johnson was asked about the president's dinner with investors who contributed $148 million to his crypto venture. Johnson claimed he doesn't know anything about the dinner and wouldn't comment on something he hasn't heard about. He also praised Trump as 'one of the greatest deal makers of all time'. When pressed about his investigation into Biden's business dealings, Johnson argued that Trump does everything out in the open, unlike the Biden family."

I'm not sure who was there or what the purpose was.\" \tThe Speaker went on to lavish praise on Trump as \"one of the greatest deal makers of all time.\" \t\"You oversaw, as Speaker, a congressional investigation into President Biden's ties to his son, Hunter's, questionable business dealings to enrich him,\" Tapper pressed. \"You seemed to think it was your responsibility to look into this sort of thing then.\" \t\"The Biden crime family, as they were named, earned that title. Why? Because they used shell companies,\" Johnson replied. \"The difference, of course, is that President Trump does everything out in the open. He's not trying to hide anything.\" read more\nhttps://crooksandliars.com/2025/05/mike-johnson-says-he-hasnt-even-heard",
