Nancy Pelosi has savaged Donald Trump's plan to revoke security clearances for former Obama-era national security chiefs who have publicly criticized him.
Pelosi slammed the potential plan, which White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders revealed on Monday, and called it a 'deflection' after Trump received intense criticism for his statements at last week's Helsinki summit.
'This is so extraordinary,' Pelosi said on Monday night. 'The last thing you want in intelligence is partisanship, and we were able to avoid that for so long.'
Pelosi delivered the comments as she, Rep Adam Schiff, and Rep Eliot Engel introduced a new resolution condemning Trump's Helsinki comments.
