THE HILL: CAMBRIDGE, MD.— House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday dismissed the idea that she has dirt on GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich.
The California Democrat said speculation that she's withholding scandalous information on the former House Speaker in hopes of derailing his candidacy is false. Her recent comments on the topic, she said, have been misinterpreted.
"I have said over and over again, as far as Speaker Gingrich is concerned, I refer you to the public record," Pelosi said at a press conference amid the Democrats' annual issues conference near the Chesapeake Bay. "It's a matter of public record."
Pelosi—who served on the Ethics Committee that investigated, and ultimately sanctioned, Gingrich for violating tax law and lying to investigators in the 1990s — raised eyebrows last month when she seemed to suggest she had damning information on Gingrich she was willing to spill. » | Mike Lillis | Thursday, January 26, 2012
