Speaker Johnson on the Rosenberg Report

Published | Video Starts at 17:01

Trump was not in the Oval Office. Okay. Because I was at the G7 speakers meeting in Verona, Italy last August. The only trip I've taken internationally as speaker because I had to go to the G7, my counterparts there, the speakers of the other great parliaments of our closest allies. (17:01–17:06)
