Pelosi Issues Blistering Statement: 'What Does Putin Have On' Trump?
Nancy Pelosi has issued a blistering statement on the indictment of Roger Stone.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday issued a blistering statement, hours after FBI agents arrested President Trump's long-time ally Roger Stone.
"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," Pelosi said.
She continued: "In the face of 37 indictments, the President's continued actions to undermine the Special Counsel investigation raise the questions: what does Putin have on the President, politically, personally or financially?"
"The Special Counsel investigation is working, and the House will continue to exercise our constitutional oversight responsibility and ensure that the Special Counsel investigation can continue free from interference from the White House," Pelosi added.
Several charges were filed against Stone, including witness tampering and false statements.
He was "charged as part of the special counsel investigation over his communications with WikiLeaks, the organization behind the release of thousands of stolen Democratic emails during the 2016 campaign," reports the New York Times.
Reacting to the development, Trump tweeted: "Greatest Witch Hunt in the History of our Country! NO COLLUSION! Border Coyotes, Drug Dealers and Human Traffickers are treated better."
