Pelosi Spotted at Luxury Resort Amid Ongoing Scrutiny of Personal Fortune

Pressed on the allegations, Pelosi rejected them outright.

“That’s ridiculous,” she said, insisting that her husband’s investments had nothing to do with her position in Congress. “I very much support the efforts to stop the trading of members of Congress. Not that I think anybody is doing anything wrong. If they are, they are prosecuted, and they go to jail. But because of the confidence it instills in the American people, don’t worry about this.”

“I have no concern about the obvious investments that have been made over time. I’m not into it. My husband is, but it isn’t anything to do with anything insider,” she added, before remarking that Trump was “always projecting” when attacking his political rivals.

The interview came amid renewed debate in Washington over congressional stock trading. The Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act — legislation spearheaded by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) — advanced through committee in July. The bill would bar members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from buying and selling individual stocks. Interestingly, the Republican-led bill is backed by hard-left Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.
