"I hearby demand a second investigation, after Schumer, of Pelosi for her close ties to Russia, and lying about it," Trump tweeted on Friday along with a Politico report that showed a file photo from Pelosi's 2010 meeting with Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev showing Kislyak at the table across from Pelosi - then House speaker. The report said that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday that she's never met with Kislyak. "Not with this Russian ambassador, no," Pelosi said during a Playbook interview, when asked if she'd ever met with the Russian envoy. When asked about Pelosi's comments with the photo of the meeting, a spokesman said that Pelosi had simply meant she never had a solo meeting with Kislyak.
