Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared agitated Wednesday when CNNs Jake Tapper confronted her about insider trading allegations.On "The Lead," Tapper tried to show President Donald Trumps comments earlier that day accusing Pelosi of becoming rich "by having inside information" in stock trading. When he attempted to read Trumps comments after a technical error, she quickly shut him down."Why do you have to read that?" Pelosi erupted. "Were here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. Thats what I agreed to come to talkand what that means in the election."MACE SOUNDS OFF ON STOCK TRADING IN CONGRESS, PELOSI REMAINS SILENT: SOMETHING DOESNT ADD UP"I wanted to give you a chance to respond," Tapper replied. "He accused you of insider trading. Whats your response to that?""Thats ridiculous," Pelosi replied. "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, dont worry about this."She continued, "But I have no concern about the obvious investments that have been made over time. Im not into it. My husband is, but it isnt anything to do with anything insider."But the president has his own exposure, so hes always projecting. Hes always projecting, and lets not give him any more time on that, please."Pelosi added that shes "very proud" of her family and called out Trump for allegedly inspiring and mocking the attack against her husband Paul in 2022."Id rather not go into some of my other complaints about him right now, rather talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare," Pelosi concluded.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURESen.
