Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was forced to flee the podium she was speaking at on Thursday after being forced to answer pointed questions about her husband’s potentially unethical stock trading activities.

As The Daily Caller reports:

Nancy Pelosi fled her weekly press conference Thursday after being asked whether her husband Paul has ever traded stocks based on information the house speaker has relayed to him.

“No absolutely not,” Pelosi said in response to a reporter who asked if her “husband ever made a stock purchase or sale based on information received from you.”

The speaker’s comments come on the heels of the Daily Caller News Foundation first reporting on a financial disclosure showing Paul Pelosi purchased up to $5 million worth in stock of a computer chips company before a vote on legislation that would hand billions to semiconductor manufacturers.

He bought 20,000 shares of Nvidia, which is one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies that designs and manufactures graphics processors and other technologies, on June 17. Senators voted Tuesday to advance the bipartisan competition legislation allocating $52 billion for domestic semiconductor manufacturing and a final vote will reportedly occur this or next week.

Pelosi’s office has reportedly so far refused to comment on allegation that the congresswoman’s husband may have engaged in insider trading.

  1. But if the husband of a prominent Republican woman politician had been arrested on the same charges, would the other members of the GOP and the conservative media bellyache about it ? Hell no ! Pure hypocrisy ! Republicans and their spouses can get away with anything, but as soon as a situation like this happens with a Democrat in Washington, they automatically assume the worst !

  2. If Pelosi in not placed in prison for insider trading, then they need to offer Martha Stewart the presidency!

  3. Better question would be, has he ever made a major stock buy sell WITHOUT your insider information!

  4. The American people are separated by our common language English. You go to jail for insider trading. Nancy wasn`t forced to leave the podium. She had no answers for the news media asking the right questions. The first elitist pig to the trough Pigliosi. Listen to her drunken grunts and squeals.

  5. hell you know he did and she told him what to buy and the bad thing is they will never be held accountable for it. i think we should all go out and buy nvidia ourselves.

  6. This stupid bitch is guilty of INSIDER STOCK TRADNG!!!! SHE THINKS ITS A PERK….WHEN THE REPUBLICANM TAKE BACK THE CONMGRESS AND SENATE…PELOSI SHOULD BE PROSECUTED…..

  7. “May have engaged?” Oh,hell, we all know the answer to that. Remove her from office and insert both of them into prison. Might as well confiscate all ill-gotten gaines.
