From Fox News: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared agitated Wednesday when CNN’s Jake Tapper confronted her about insider trading allegations.
On “The Lead,” Tapper tried to show President Donald Trump’s comments earlier that day accusing Pelosi of becoming rich “by having inside information” in stock trading. When he attempted to read Trump’s comments after a technical error, she quickly shut him down.
“Why do you have to read that?” Pelosi erupted. “We‘re here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. That‘s what I agreed to come to talk… and what that means in the election.”
Tapper reminded her that she’d been accused of insider trading, and that he wanted her to have an opportunity to respond.
“That‘s ridiculous,” Pelosi shot back. “In fact, I very much support the stop the trading of members of Congress. Not that I think anybody is doing anything wrong. If they are, they are prosecuted, and they go to jail. But because of the confidence it instills in the American people, don‘t worry about this.”
“But I have no concern about the obvious investments that have been made over time. I‘m not into it. My husband is, but it isn‘t anything to do with anything insider,” she continued.
“But the president has his own exposure, so he‘s always projecting. He‘s always projecting, and let‘s not give him any more time on that, please.”
