Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rudely interrupted CNN’s Jake Tapper when he brought up Trump’s comments about her insider trading scandal.
Earlier Wednesday, President Trump said Nancy Pelosi should be investigated for insider trading.
This comes after Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced his Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act, named after Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat Congresswoman who mysteriously became a multi millionaire by impressive stock trades that put the best brokers in the business to shame.
When asked if he supports the bill, which will ban members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from owning and trading stocks, Trump said “I like it conceptually” before tearing into Pelosi and her husband Paul Pelosi.
“She made a fortune with her husband, and I think that’s disgraceful,” the President said before calling for an investigation.
“And what I do think is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated because she has the highest return of anybody, practically, in the history of Wall Street, save a few,” he said.
“And how did that happen? It happened by she knows exactly what’s going to happen, what’s going to be announced, she buys stock, and then the stock goes up after the announcement,” Trump said.
Pelosi said she supports the Senate’s stock trading ban in statement released on Wednesday.

Later Wednesday Nancy Pelosi appeared on CNN and melted down when Jake Tapper wanted to discuss Trump’s comments.
“Why do you have to read that?” Pelosi said interrupting Tapper.
“It isn’t anything to do with anything insider. But the president has his own exposure, he’s always projecting,” Pelosi said. “Let’s not give him any more time on that, please.”
