Pelosi Panics On CNN When Pressed About Insider Trading

Posted • July 30, 2025: Nancy Pelosi appeared rattled and visibly annoyed during a CNN interview this week when anchor Jake Tapper confronted her with Donald Trump’s accusations of insider trading. The former House speaker had joined the program to discuss the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, but things quickly went off-script when Tapper tried to bring up Trump’s pointed remarks. Tapper began to quote Trump, saying, “Nancy Pelosi became rich—” before Pelosi abruptly cut him off. “Why—why do you have to read that?” she snapped, clearly not happy with where the discussion was going. Tapper attempted to defuse the tension, saying he just wanted to give her a chance to respond to Trump's claims. But Pelosi was having none of it. “We’re here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. That’s what I agreed to come to talk about,” she protested. The tension only escalated as Tapper continued, “He accused you of insider trading. What’s your response to that?”

Critics allege the Pelosis have profited from privileged information, pointing to trades involving companies like NVIDIA, Apple, and Visa that coincided with legislation affecting those industries. Watchdog groups and bipartisan lawmakers have pushed for stricter regulations or outright bans on congressional stock trading. The evidence against her is quite damning, which is probably why Pelosi was clearly flustered and struggled to maintain composure while responding to Tapper. “Uh, that’s r—ridiculous,” she stammered. She then tried to shift the focus onto her support for reforms. “I very much support the stop th—uh, the trading of members of Congress. Not that I think anybody’s doing anything wrong. If they are, they are prosecuted and they go to jail, but because of the, uh, confidence it instills in the American people. Don’t worry about this.” (…)
