House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office announced today they are postponing her 7-day trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan after learning "the Administration had leaked the commercial travel plans," according to a statement.
Why it matters: By leaking even more information about this trip — after Pelosi aides had previously asked news organizations not to publicly report the details due to national security concerns — her office said going ahead with the visit would "further endanger our troops and security personnel, or the other travelers on the flights."
Show less How we got here: Pelosi sent Trump a letter on Wednesday asking him to delay his State of the Union address until the government shutdown is over, citing security concerns. Yesterday, Trump used that same reasoning to inform Pelosi that he will postpone her planned overseas trip.
"Due to the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. ... Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative."
Pretty sure she could afford to charter a 747 if she really wanted to go. But that’s not the point right. It’s tax payers responsibility to cover those things.
Translation: “Commercial flights are beneath me.”
Pelosi LIES with a wrinkled face.
Funny how the lefties are all crying out that this is treason and grounds for impeachment. Donald Trump is embedded so much in their heads he’s making all of them go insane. I love it!
Boondoggle baffled and junket junked.
Is George Costanza her chief advisor? because this sounds like a story he would make up on the fly to cover himself when he screwed up! . Big time , jerry! I gotta go big, no one would believe a little lie. I gotta fix this. Trump can’t win. no Jerry, I can’t let him win!!. yadda yadda yadda.
She didn’t want us to know about her back-stabbing trip to try to conduct business with foreign countries.
She thinks she is president and secretary of state, doncha know.
Why does the Speaker of the House need to go to Afghanistan?
Who released Trump’s letter to the press? Just curious as to how it got out there - did the president make it public (not that I care). Yet more proof that the president loves the troops - he has spared them from a phony Pelosi visit.
Why does the Speaker of the House need to go to Afghanistan?
Do you suppose she will ask for a refund for the Millions of dollars she paid to have all her friends and family travel with her.
Oh wait, she doesn’t do that...Pay I mean.
If she wants to fly privately, maybe she should quit Congress and fly where she wants?
No one forced Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker.
National security concerns my arse. I would say it is more like Public relations concerns. And Trump let the public know they were going on vacation during a shutdown.
She was never gonna go after what the POTUS did yesterday anyway. Just trying to save face......Unfortunatly that face has a PIE IN IT!...her and schiff. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Funny how this article doesn’t mention that Pelosi tried to keep this quiet and she was planning to fly on an Air Force plane.
Even ISIS wouldn’t want the Box of Rocks.
Is Pelosi’s head leaking again?
Shes so full of it... unreal..
