California, District of Columbia | October 7, 2021
Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office is denying a claim by a former President Trump aide that the California Democrat once accused the White House of bugging her phone following a tense meeting with the then-commander in chief.
In her new book “I’ll Take Your Questions Now,” former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham described the explosive October 2019 meeting among Trump, Pelosi and now-Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer. The gathering at the White House, originally intended to focus on the response to Turkey as it carried out an offensive in northern Syria, quickly blew up as the president clashed with Pelosi and Schumer.
Grisham said of the face-to-face, which she said she was in the room for, “At one point, Pelosi stood up and pointed at the president. ‘All roads with you lead to Russia,’ she snapped. ‘You gave Russia Ukraine and Syria.'”… (Excerpts from The Hill)
