House Speaker Pelosi Wants to Make Sure She Gets Her Perks
Fox News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pressing the White House for increased use of military aircraft for domestic flights — not just for herself, but also for staff, relatives and others. The Washington Times reports former Speaker Dennis Hastert was given use of military flights as a security measure after 9/11. But Pelosi's request is said to go beyond what Hastert got. One source says Pelosi's office is pressing the point of her succession — she's next in line after the vice president — and that the Department of Defense needs to "play ball with the speaker's needs."
A Pelosi aide tells the Times that her request is related to security and that negotiations with the administration are ongoing.
