Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi called US President Donald Trump a servant of Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. She expressed this opinion on the air of CBS News.
Talking about cyberattacks on a number of American departments, which are attributed to Russia, Pelosi was outraged at the lack of reaction of the head of state to what happened. “I don’t know what the Russians have about President Trump – personal, political, financial. There is no other explanation why the US president is Putin's servant to such an extent, ”she stressed.
On January 5, the FBI announced that the large-scale cyberattack on US federal agencies was most likely originated from Russia. During the break-in, “less than ten government structures” were affected. Washington believes that the purpose of this attack was an attempt to obtain some kind of intelligence. Moscow rejects accusations of hacker attacks on American departments and considers them unfounded.
Pelosi previously said the storming of the Capitol was a gift to Putin. She called Trump a tool for the Russian leader who made “the largest of his many gifts to Putin.” The democrat suggested that the owner of the White House is helping the head of the Russian state by downplaying the role of democracy in the world.
The storming of the Capitol building in the United States occurred on January 6 during a rally of Trump supporters who do not recognize the results of the November vote, which elected Democrat Joe Biden as president. The rallies led to clashes with the police. Five people died, dozens were detained.
