The US House speaker, Mike Johnson, has developed a go-to response when asked about something controversial Donald Trump or members of his administration said or did.
It’s some version of “I don’t know anything about that.”

These guys are payed way too much to say “I don’t know” this often.
Seriously, if there’s this many things about their direct line of work that they don’t know, maybe they should find another line of work.
Sometimes I say this at work, but you can be damn sure the second time that question is asked, I’m prepared.
At my first IT job (which was help desk/sysadmin), during onboarding I was told “it’s not okay to say ‘I don’t know’ unless you follow it up with ‘but I will find out.’”
I like that. I will probably use that one.
Essentially, that is what they’re being paid for.
