Exclusive: Pelosi privately blasts Democrats for vote to hold Clintons in contempt in Epstein probe [View all]

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was disappointed after nearly half of the House Oversight Committee’s Democrats voted Wednesday to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas in its Jeffrey Epstein investigation. And on Thursday, she let them know it.

In a private meeting, Pelosi said she was upset that Democrats supported the contempt vote because the former president and former secretary of state were still negotiating with the committee over the terms of a possible future appearance, two sources in the room told CNN.

One of the sources in the room described Pelosi as “emphatic” and said of the former speaker’s remarks: “When she speaks, she means it. She knows her voice has power.”

The former speaker suggested no proceedings should move forward against the Clintons until after the Justice Department has released all of the Epstein investigative files.
