- 5 years ago
Nancy Pelosi held her weekly press conference on Thursday.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday commented on the relationship between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the day's press briefing, Pelosi was asked if she believes Putin has compromising information about Trump. "I've been asking that question for two years…Something is wrong with this picture," she replied. Pelosi expressed similar suspicions following last week's arrest of Trump ally Roger Stone, "who was charged in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation with lying to Congress about his contacts with WikiLeaks over the release of Democratic emails, as well as witness tampering," according to BuzzFeed News.
She said in a statement: "The indictment of Roger Stone makes clear that there was a deliberate, coordinated attempt by top Trump campaign officials to influence the 2016 election and subvert the will of the American people." "It is staggering that the President has chosen to surround himself with people who violated the integrity of our democracy and lied to the FBI and Congress about it," the statement further noted.
