Pelosi has made a career out of politics. But not all of her shady moves have escaped notice.
And now Nancy Pelosi could end up behind bars after what Trump just did to her.
Donald Trump took a bold stance Thursday, calling for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to face prosecution over what he suggests is insider trading connected to her husband’s shady Visa stock sales just before a Justice Department lawsuit against the credit card giant.
“Nancy Pelosi has a little problem because her husband sold their Visa stock – they had a lot of Visa stock – one day before it was announced that Visa is being sued by the Department of Justice,” Trump pointed out during a press conference at Trump Tower in New York.
Paul Pelosi, husband of the former House speaker, sold 2,000 shares of Visa stock, worth between $500,000 and $1 million, on July 1.
Not even three months later, Visa found itself on the receiving end of a DOJ lawsuit accusing the company of monopolizing the debit card market.
Financial disclosures make the timing all too convenient.
Trump, always one to speak truth to power, suggested what many Americans are already thinking — that Nancy Pelosi likely knew about the impending lawsuit and tipped off her husband to dump their stock.
Yet again, we see how the elites play by their own rules while regular Americans face accountability.
“Think of that. Nancy Pelosi sold vast amounts of Visa stock one day before the big lawsuit that we all read about a few days ago,” Trump emphasized.
“You think it was luck? I don’t.”
“She should be prosecuted,” Trump declared.
“Nancy Pelosi should be prosecuted for that.”
Despite Trump’s clear-cut case, Pelosi’s camp predictably remained silent, with no immediate response from her spokesperson.
At the time Paul made his conveniently timed trade, there was no public knowledge of the looming DOJ lawsuit, but Visa’s stock plummeted 5.5% the day the lawsuit hit the news.
How convenient for the Pelosis to escape just in time.
Let’s not forget Paul Pelosi’s past headlines — surviving a brutal hammer attack at their San Francisco home a couple of years ago.
But that doesn’t erase the fact that he’s also a venture capitalist and real estate investor, deeply embedded in the world of high-stakes financial dealings.
“Nancy Pelosi does not own any stocks, and she has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,” a spokesperson for Nancy insisted earlier this week.
Sounds like more of the same tired excuses from the political class who think they’re above the law.
