The Republican response to the release of a suggestive note to Jeffrey Epstein apparently signed by President Trump followed a familiar pattern of deflection.
Speaker Mike Johnson, who did not emerge from his office on Monday in the hours after the drawing was released, eventually said he had not seen President Trump’s note.
Some Republicans cheered the move as a justified step by Israel, while others said they were worried the attack could strain relations with a close U.S. ally.
