Biden appeared unaware of the order\u2063 he had signed, denying that he had paused exports. This exchange worried Johnson, \u200dleading him to conclude \u2063that Biden was not in charge and raising concerns about who was truly \u200brunning the country. While \u2064a White House representative disputed Johnson&#8217;s characterization of\u2063 the event, \u200dit was noted that \u2062no new \u2063LNG export permits\u200b had been approved four\u200d months\u200c after the interaction.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Outgoing President Joe Biden did not know what he was signing, House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a new interview, pointing to a conversation he had with the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">outgoing commander-<\/a>in-chief in January 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson told the story in an interview last week with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/when-mike-johnson-knew-joe-biden-not-in-charge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Free Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Can I ask you a question?
