Trump denies @SpeakerPelosi use of military aircraft to fly into a war zone. “Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. If you would like to fly commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.”
Trump, in response to @SpeakerPelosi's cancelation of his SOTU, denies her use of military aircraft to fly into a war zone. Not only did he make public her Afghanistan trip, which he calls a PR "excursion," he suggested that she – 3rd in line for the presidency – fly commercial.
Trump denied @SpeakerPelosi – 3rd in line for the presidency – the use of military aircraft for a trip which she scheduled to depart on this afternoon and included visiting military troops in Afghanistan, an active war zone that Trump has yet to visit.
yes, I know... SECOND* in line

Trump DID know about the counterintelligence investigation because Pompeo – who had taken a special interest in CIA's counterintel unit – told him, after which, Trump directed senior aides to launch a smear campaign on McCabe, Baker, etc...
cc @JimArkedis
MAY 2017: The FBI, so concerned about Trump's behavior, launched a counterintelligence investigation into whether he was knowingly working on Russia's behalf against the US.
Jun 2017: Trump ordered senior aides to launch a smear campaign directed at against FBI officials who could provide damning testimony against him in the Mueller probe: McCabe, Baker, Rybicki, Strzok, Page – who have all now left the FBI.

SCCOP: Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the Moscow Tower Project. Trump knew Cohen was speaking to Kremlin officials about the deal and even told Cohen to plan a Russia trip during the campaign so Trump could meet with Putin.

SCOOP: Cohen told Mueller that after the election, Trump PERSONALLY instructed him to lie to Congress by claiming the Moscow Tower negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did to obscure Trump’s involvement.

Trump cancels Nancy Pelosi's foreign trip citing shutdown by denying the use of military aircraft to Pelosi and her delegation. bbc.com/news/world-us-…
"I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels has been postponed. We will reschedule this 7 day excursion when shutdown is over. In light of 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay. I'm sure you agree postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate"
"I also feel that it would be better if you were here in Washington negotiating with me. Obviously if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would be entirely your prerogative"

Trump Fires Back At Pelosi

President Donald Trump hit back at Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying a trip she planned to make to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan has been postponed.

"We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over," he said in a letter to Pelosi.
He did it by telling Pelosi that she cannot use military planes during the govt shutdown. Then added:
"Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative."
I guess two can play at this. What did she think? Oh, she wasn't thinking. She was just collecting plaudits from her fan base, when this dropped.

Frankly, both sides are being petty, but clearly she started it.

POTUS tells ⁦@SpeakerPelosi⁩ he is canceling her trip to Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan because of the shutdown
More precisely the president is not allowing @SpeakerPelosi and the congressional delegation to use US military aircraft to fly to Belgium (to meet with @NATO leaders) and to Afghanistan (to meet with servicemembers).
3/ A White House official told CNN that Pelosi and the delegation are welcome to fly *commercial* to Afghanistan. Which is a remarkable statement given that the WH just announced this trip to the world, a violation of all security protocols.

BREAKING: Speaker Pelosi sends letter to President Trump suggesting they postpone his State of the Union address until after the government has been reopened, or deliver the address in writing, a practice that was common in the 1800s and early 1900s.
JUST IN: In tit-for-tat response, President Trump informs Speaker Pelosi via letter that her foreign trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan "has been postponed" until after the government shutdown is over, unless she uses commercial travel.
White House official says Speaker Pelosi and delegation were set to use military aircraft for foreign trip, which allowed the president to halt the movement.

The letter also reveals travel plans, including a visit to a war zone, for person who is second in line to presidency.
