But Epstein threatening to sue Trump is not direct evidence that Trump called the FBI. It is circumstancial evidence. The only direct evidence we have that Trump called the FBI is Johnsons hearsay, which isn't admissable evidence in a trial, of course.
And I did watch your video, that Youtuber did say that, watch it again.
Marshall didn't suggest he was an informant, he suggested Trump just snitched on Epstein to ruin Epsteins reputation. Snitching and being an informant are two very different things. Johnson saying Trump was an informant implies Trump kept feeding the FBI info while on the inside hanging out with Epstein. What Marshall is suggesting is after they had their falling out and Epstein threatened to sue Trump over the land deal and expose the money laundering, Trump called the authorities on Epstein.
But Johnson is most definitely a liar, and a stupid one at that. We are in agreement on that. It was really stupid for Johnson to say Trump was an informant because that implies Trump knew what Epstein was doing, which contradicts the official White House position that Trump had no idea what Epstein was doing (hence the 5 White House staffers saying they didn't know what Johnson was talking about).
