Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi called US President Donald Trump a servant of Vladimir Putin’s Russian counterpart. She expressed this opinion on the air of CBS News.
“I do not 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.
Earlier, Pelosi said that the storming of the Capitol was a gift to Putin. She called Trump the tool of 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, downplaying the role of democracy in the world.
The storming of the US Capitol building took place on January 6 during a rally of Trump supporters who do not recognize the results of the November vote, which resulted in the election of Democrat Joe Biden as president. The rallies led to clashes with the police. Five people died, dozens were detained.
