Pelosi Says Trump’s Comments on Stone Case Are ‘an Abuse of Power’

U.S. President 👤Donald Trump’s comments this week weighing in on the trial of his longtime associate 👤Roger Stone amount to political interference in the judiciary and are “an abuse of power,” House Speaker 👤Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Thursday.

“This is an abuse of power — that the president is again trying to manipulate federal law enforcement to serve his political interest,” Pelosi said at a news conference. “This is not what America is about. It is so wrong.”
