    'Any answers Nancy?' Donald Trump tries to get a reaction from Speaker Pelosi over a report alleging her son may have been involved in a Ukrainian corruption scandal
    • Donald Trump prompted Nancy Pelosi to give answers over the weekend on a new report centered around her son's board position of a natural gas firm
    • Viscoil allegedly did business in Ukraine, according to the report from conservative network One America News
    • Trump is likely trying to suggest that Pelosi and her son are involved in a similar Ukrainian corruption scandal as he accuses Joe and Hunter Biden of engaging in
    • Paul Pelosi Jr. served on the board of Viscoil and the report highlighted his visit to Ukraine as recently as 2017
    • President Trump continued to go after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Twitter throughout the Christmas holiday
    • He complaining about her decision to hold up giving the articles of impeachment to the Republican-controlled Senate
    • In a tweet Friday, Trump said that Pelosi 'presided over the most unfair hearing in the history of the United States Congress!'

    Good. In a perfect world Pelosi, Biden, Trump and every other politician getting personal benefits - especially financially- for themselves or their family should be exposed and removed. Fuck all of them. It’s infuriating that people can’t hold both sides accountable.

    This is fake news coming out of a fake news machine in Macedonia. Trump is such an idiot.

    So Paul Pelosi Jr. didn't serve on the board of Viscoil? That seems pretty easy to verify.

    Snopes fact check:
    Was Nancy Pelosi’s Son an Exec at a Gas Company That Did Business in Ukraine?
    "Because Pelosi Jr. did not work for NRGlab during the time in which the company is alleged to have done business in Ukraine, and because the product allegedly produced by NRGlab in Ukraine does not exist, we rank the claim that “Nancy Pelosi’s son is an executive at a gas company that did business in Ukraine” as “False.”"

    Snopes is funny. I love how they use technicalities to set their own parameters for what “yes” and “no” mean.

    Wikipedia has banned reference to UK Daily Mail as an unreliable source. Microsoft browser warned they carry sensationalized and unverified stories. Sounds like a publication Trump would prefer.

    Trump does the same thing. It's quite a skill.

    I remember people talking about Pelosi's son on some other "energy company" board years ago. Natural Blue something or other and fraud.

    The whole thing is a total scam but people here will attack the sources while these politicians all steal from everyone.

    All of them. Or maybe Nancy's kid really does know how to save the world with clean energy. Lol

    Wikipedia considers them highly regarded.

    Yes, but the allegations should actually be true before the politician should be punished.

    You post on a forum where eating babies is often mentioned.

    It's clear you eat babies. I think we have to hold you accountable.

    How does serving on a corporate board = stealing from everyone?

    This accusation of wrongdoing seems a bit vague. What is the alleged crime?

    It's been years. I'll google it now. You guys really don't remember anything do you. This was before Trump. Be right back.
