Mark Levin Urges Speaker Mike Johnson to Move on From Epstein Scandal: ‘We Can’t Waste Our Time’
Fox News’ Mark Levin urged Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) to move on from the controversy surrounding the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case during a Sunday evening interview in which the conservative commentator deemed it a “waste of time.”
Levin’s comments came after Johnson stressed the importance of Republicans holding on to Congress in the 2026 midterms.
“I mean, everything is on the line in the midterm election in 2026,” said Johnson. “Because if the Democrats — the radical, woke, progressive, Marxist Democrats — were able to take the majority in the House of Representatives, they would impeach President Trump on the first day of that Congress. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. Early January of 2027, and it would descend again into chaos. They abused their power, as they did in the last time. We will resort again to lawfare, and all the abuses. It will be a disaster for the country.”
“We have a lot to run on, and a lot to run against given the other party. But I will tell you this, we better be united. We better be strong. We better focused. We better articulate. We can’t waste our time on Epstein, and other stuff that are going on here that some people want us to focus on. I’ve about had it with all that stuff,” replied Levin. “We better focus on who we are, what we’re doing, where we want to take the country, and what they want to do to the country. Mr. Speaker, God bless you, my friend. I appreciate you very, very much.”
Last week, Johnson raised eyebrows when he — despite Trump’s attempts to get his base to do as Levin advised and move on from the Epstein case — expressed his support for releasing the Epstein Files” in full and called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to “come forward” and explain herself.
