In a clip shared by our sister site Townhall.com, Tapper was interviewing Pelosi about President Donald Trump’s comment that the former House Speaker should be investigated because Trump said she has the “highest return of anybody, practically in the history of Wall Street, save a few.”

Tapper said, “Let me just read what he said,” as Pelosi talked over him. 

The CNN host continued reading Trump’s words, “Nancy Pelosi became rich….” but she interjected and would not let him finish.

“Why do you have to read that?” Pelosi exclaimed. “We’re here to talk about the 60th Anniversary of Medicaid. That’s what I agreed to come on to talk about. And what that means in the election.”

Tapper agreed but said he just wanted to give her a chance to react to Trump, who accused her of insider trading.

“That’s ridiculous,” Pelosi said. “In fact, I very much support the trading of members of Congress. Not that I think anybody is doing anything wrong. If they are, they are prosecuted and go to jail.”

“But I have no concern about the obvious investment that have been made over time,” she added. “I’m not into it, my husband is. But it isn’t anything to do with anything insider.” 

The CNN interview followed President Trump’s comments at a signing at the White House earlier in the day, when Trump was asked about the Pelosi Act clearing a committee with an 8-7 vote, with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) joining the Democrats to get it through.

As my RedState colleague Ward Clark reported, in April, Sen. Hawley introduced the aptly named PELOSI Act (Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act) to prevent lawmakers and their spouses from trading. It comes after Pelosi and her husband magically managed to make hundreds of millions of dollars in stock trading.

The report read:

It is (and let’s say this quietly) called “graft.”

A lot of this comes from members of Congress being made aware of information that could affect various publicly traded corporations, information that is not available to the general public. They then act on that information and score.

The report noted that in every other place, but Congress, this is called “insider trading” and it’s against the law. But Hawley hopes to rectify that with the Pelosi Act.

He broke down the Act to note the following:

If passed, current lawmakers would have 180 days to comply with the legislation. Likewise, newly elected lawmakers must achieve compliance within 180 days of entering office.
