Mike Johnson

I’m not following all the twists and turns of the Qatar jet. I have certainly heard about it.

I don’t know anything about that. I didn’t see the interview.

I don’t know anything about the dinner. I was a little busy this past week, as you know, getting the reconciliation package over the line, so I’m not going to comment on something I haven’t even heard about.

Mr. Johnson has clearly and repeatedly stated he is supportive of access to I.V.F. when sufficient pro-life protections are in place.

I would like us to get back to normal Congress

I don’t think you can put the blame on the president for any of that.

The words that the president chose are not the ones that I would use, okay?

We have got to raise the bar in Congress, this is out of control.

Everybody here, all the Republicans, want to go on record to show we’re for maximum transparency.

Democrats are trying to use the Epstein matter as a political weapon to distract from the own party’s failures.

I’m going to vote to move this forward. I think it could be close to a unanimous vote, because everybody here, all the Republicans, want to go on record to show your maximum transparency.

I’ve been for maximum transparency, but again, there’s a reason you have rules and processes here to ensure that this is not done haphazardly, and I was not satisfied.

No, it’s not a reversal.

I’m going to read you an excerpt out of our legal document we put together to explain: Congress should give the attorney general broader authority to redact all the victim information. The discharge doesn’t do that.

It's a totally pointless exercise.

I have spoken to President Donald Trump quite a bit about it.

[Trump’s] statements speak for themselves

Vote your conscience

I'm gonna vote to move this forward

He's never had anything to hide.

I’m going to vote to move this forward.

Her oath of office would not be taken until the government shutdown fight was resolved

Let’s just get this done and move it on. There’s nothing to hide.

They’re doing this to go after President Trump on this theory that he has something to do with it. He does not.

We’ll just get this done and move it on. There’s nothing to hide.
