Pelosi: Trump ‘vulnerable personally’ amid Russia probe
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has made himself “very vulnerable personally” amid investigations of his campaign ties with Russia, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday.
She pointed to Trump’s reported request to now-fired FBI Director James Comey to lay off an investigation of Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser.
“I think the Flynn thing is where the president is very vulnerable personally,” Pelosi told The Associated Press in an interview in her office. “If the president in fact asked Comey to let up on … Flynn — you don’t do that.”
Several House Democrats and liberal groups are pushing for Trump to be impeached, but Pelosi said she was not encouraging — or discouraging — such talk.
