House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Sunday that President Donald Trump "wants to ignore any allegation against Russia" as he and his administration deny ever being briefed about intelligence that Russians have offered to pay bounties to Taliban fighters who kill Americans.
Speaking with ABC's "This Week," Pelosi said, "This is as bad as it gets."
"And yet the president will not confront the Russians on this score, denies being briefed," Pelosi said. "Whether he is or not, his administration knows and our allies — some of our allies who work with us in Afghanistan had been briefed and accept this report."
"Just as I have said to the president: With him all roads lead to Putin," she added. "I don't know what the Russians have on the president, politically, personally, financially, or whatever it is, but he wants to ignore, he wants to bring them back to the G8 despite the annexation of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine, despite what they yielded to him in Syria, despite his intervention into our election which is well documented by our intelligence community, and despite now possibly this allegation, which we should have been briefed on."
"I believe that when we ask our service members and their families to take risks and make sacrifices for the United States, it is with the understanding that we will do anything we can to mitigate those risks and honor those sacrifices," she said in a statement.
"President Trump appears to have utterly failed to uphold his end of the bargain. Through thorough investigation, oversight, and accountability measures, we can still keep ours."

Including a Democrat in an R jersey named Liz Cheney.
How soon before Pelosi and the Democrats start claiming that the Russians paid the Minneapolis police to knock off an African-American? And that Trump was in on it?
Why is Pelosi always wearing a little scarf-collar around her neck, these days? What’s she hiding?
It was not “official intelligence” to inform Trump about, because it was sources that were not vetted but were anonymously told to “journalists”. It may be no more good intelligence than the Steele “dossier” used against Trump.
Media delenda est
Time for Trump to hit Pelosi on her so s quid pro quo as well as the sweetheart deals her bills made her husband rich.
GOPe is behind this.
I don’t doubt that they are somehow involved.
Just too coincidental for LIzzie to have her tweet all ready to go...and, the traitorous RINO/Dem Lincoln Project had their ad ready to roll.
Talk about collusion.
Maybe her brain is so far gone the Doc’s had to do a ‘Frankenstein’ number on her and she trying to hide the new bolts...
Great point.
Oh, it’s probably her fashionable take on the Face Mask - but how convenient!

Exactly. No respect should be given to any on the left.
It came from the NEW YORK TIMES...not the government. The New York Times is now the intelligence agency for the USA, or so they think. More manufactured garbage.
But senators and the House Speaker shouldn’t be speaking about it like it’s absolute truth from just an article when ALL parties involved deny it.
But you’re right
We have TASS.
So how can a democrat contender who wins president be considered ledit when we don’t recognize communist elections as legit because the MEDIA IS OWNED??
She’s repeating the NYT’s lies...
