Pelosi calls Trump indictments ‘beautiful,' says a Trump win in 2024 would be like 'the world being on fire'

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi says a second Trump administration would be a "criminal enterprise in the White House," praising the indictments against him.

Former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., praised the indictments against former President Trump as "beautiful and intricate" and said they have a solid chance of resulting in conviction.

Pelosi made the comments in an extensive interview with New York Magazine that was published Monday, going on to consider the possibility of Trump winning a second term in the White House.

"The indictments against the president are exquisite," Pelosi said. "They’re beautiful and intricate, and they probably have a better chance of conviction than anything that I would come up with."

The interview then turned to 2024 and Trump's re-election campaign. Pelosi spoke of Trump's campaign in dire terms.
