CNN host Jake Tapper on Sunday challenged Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) over President Donald Trump’s “closed-door” crypto event last week, arguing if it had been a Democratic president doing the exact same thing, he would be “outraged.”

"I really have a difficult time imagining that if this was a Democratic president doing the exact same thing, you wouldn't be outraged," Tapper said Sunday.

"Well, look, 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” Johnson replied. "And so I'm not going to comment on something I haven't even heard about. I'm not sure who was there or what the purpose was.”

The speaker went on to describe Trump as "one of the greatest deal makers of all time” before launching into a canned attack on former President Joe Biden.

"The Biden crime family, as they were named, earned that title. Why? Because they used shell companies," Johnson argued. "The difference, of course, is that President Trump does everything out in the open. He's not trying to hide anything."
