House Speaker Mike Johnson keeps claiming ignorance when quizzed about president’s controversial moves.

Mike Johnson would like you to believe that he doesn’t really follow the news; doesn’t keep up with events in Washington, D.C.; and most definitely doesn’t listen to a word Donald Trump ever says. The 53-year-old Speaker is fast gaining a reputation for feigning ignorance whenever he’s asked a difficult question. This week, Johnson told reporters he hadn’t seen Trump’s major 60 Minutes interview in which the president said he had pardoned crypto mogul Changpeng “CZ” Zhao but “know[s] nothing about it.”
