Karoline Leavitt Walks Into Briefing - Shows Paper That Could Land Nancy Pelosi In Serious Trouble


White House Press SecretaryKaroline Leavittsharply criticized former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her controversial stock trades, labeling her the primary reason a congressional trading ban is currently being debated.

Leavitt highlighted a series of investments made by Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, which she asserted exceeded the performance of Warren Buffett and every major hedge fund on Wall Street.

“The President has held talks with Senator Hawley, who initiated the call, and the President accepted it,” Leavitt stated. “As the President remarked in the Roosevelt Room yesterday, in principle, he supports the concept of ensuring that members of Congress and U.S. Senators, who are in Washington for public service, cannot profit personally.”

She was direct in naming individuals.

“The very reason this idea—implementing a stock trading ban for members of Congress—is even under consideration is because of Nancy Pelosi,” Leavitt said. “She is rightfully scrutinized because she earns a salary of approximately $174,000 a year, yet possesses a net worth of nearly $413 million.”

“In 2024, Nancy Pelosi’s investment portfolio—an intriguing statistic to me—expanded by 70% in a single year. Her returns bested every major hedge fund during that period and were more than double the returns of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.”

Leavitt noted that the President aligns with the public's frustration. “The President stands with the American people on this matter. He does not want to see officials like Nancy Pelosi enriching themselves via public service while exploiting their constituents in the process.”
