House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday she was delivering a simple message to President Trump as she stood and departed a contentious White House meeting the previous day: "At that moment, I was probably saying, 'All roads lead to Putin.'"
The picture of Pelosi standing opposite the president as she prepared to leave the Wednesday meeting quickly went viral, after Trump tweeted it out and Pelosi's office later made it the cover photo of her own Twitter account. In the picture, Pelosi is the only woman at the table, standing alone opposite a seated row of men.
Pelosi has long speculated about the possible link between Trump and the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, an adversary of the United States. Democrats investigating Trump had initially focused their attention on the president's suspected role in Russia's 2016 election meddling.
