In escalating shutdown fight, Trump cancels plane for Pelosi overseas trip


A day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that President Donald Trump delay his State of the Union Address because of unresolved issues surrounding a partial government shutdown, the President retaliated by scrapping plans by the Speaker to use a military jet to take a group of lawmakers on an overseas trip to Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan, saying it would be better for Pelosi to stay in the U.S. and negotiate a deal on a border wall.

“In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate,” the President wrote in a letter to the Speaker.
“Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative,” the President added, as he took the unprecedented step of pulling military travel support for what are known as “CODEL’s” – bipartisan Congressional Delegation trips around the globe, often to visit U.S. soldiers and diplomats.

She used to use the military plane to fly home to San Fran...….unlike Biden who would take the train home to Conn. She thinks she's privileged!!!

In fairness, there is a difference in trying to get from DC to Delaware (not Connecticut), and DC to San Francisco.

Nancy Pelosi’s Jet

After the 9/11 terrorists attacks in 2001, President George W. Bush ordered that the Speaker of the House (next in line of succession to the presidency after the vice-president) be afforded secure government transportation on military aircraft when traveling on official business, and then-speaker Dennis Hastert often used a C-20B to travel back and forth between Washington to his home state of Illinois.

Based on what I can find, Pelosi requested an aircraft that could make it from Washington to San Francisco without having to stop to refuel.

After some bad press, the House sergeant at arms said he requested a different plane than previous House Speaker Hastert who lived in Illinois had used.

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not request a larger plane for personal use to travel cross-country without stopping", Bill Livingood, the House sergeant at arms, said.
Livingood said the request was his, and he made it for security reasons.
“The fact that Speaker Pelosi lives in California compelled me to request an aircraft that is capable of making non-stop flights for security purposes, unless such an aircraft is unavailable,” Livingood, who has been at his post for 11 years, said in a written statement.
My quote refers to security for the State of the Union spiel.
