House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters she hadn’t seen President Trump’s tweet and wouldn’t weigh in on whether it could be included in articles of impeachment, although she did say that witness intimidation is a crime.
"I'm trying to keep government open, pass a trade bill, get our prescription drug bill done, and we had so much else going on,” she said. "I'm so proud of the dignity and the grace of the ambassador and her patriotism. I haven't really paid a lot of attention to the President."
Asked if the tweet was appropriate, Pelosi chuckled: “Appropriate and President in the same sentence? Come on. Why would we start making that judgment now?"
"I just haven't seen it, the tweet, but witness intimidation is a crime,” she said. "Anyway, I am so consumed in so many other things right now.”
A reporter tried to show her the tweet on his phone as she walked to her office, but she declined. “I’m sure I’ll see it,” she said.
