CNN anchor Abby Phillip called out Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) go-to answer to President Donald Trump’s frequent controversies with a comical video receipt gathering multiple examples.
On Monday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight, Phillip convened a panel comprised of Scott Jennings, David Hogg, Penny Nance, Congressman Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), and Leah Wright Rigueur to discuss Trump’s repeated insistence he doesn’t “know anything” about Changpeng Zhao, the crypto magnate he pardoned.
MOSKOWITZ: And you know the one thing we don’t have about Joe Biden?
We don’t have him on camera of being asked a question, do you know about this pardon, and Joe Biden going, no, know nothing about it.
(CROSSTALKS)
MOSKOWITZ: We got Trump. We got Trump right there for the American people to see, Trump going, no, don’t know this guy, Zhao, don’t know anything about it.
JENNINGS: It’s true. You don’t have Joe Biden on camera about much of anything the last three months.
NANCE: Or even who he was at that point, so, yes.
PHILLIP: Look, you made the point about Mike Johnson, because this has become a common refrain. He’s asked about something that Trump says, it’s all over the news, and, apparently, news doesn’t get to Capitol Hill. Listen.

REP. MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA): I don’t know anything about that. I didn’t see the interview. You have to ask the president about that.
I don’t know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that literally I was walking in.
I don’t know the details about that. I’ve just read it. I didn’t talk with him about that.
I don’t know the latest developments.
That’s the first I’ve heard of that. I don’t know anything about it.
I don’t know what you’re talking about with the children.
I haven’t seen that, so I’m not going to comment on it.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
PHILLIP: I don’t know. It just kind of undermines the idea, you know, that there’s some right righteous indignation about the wrongdoings of your political opponents, but any time that your guy’s doing something that is questionable, it’s like, oh, I just haven’t heard about it.
