WASHINGTON, DC: Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader of the House, referred to former President Donald Trump as a "imposter" during an interview on Thursday, June 13, and requested that someone organize a "intervention" on his behalf.

"He knows he's wacky," Pelosi told MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell. "He knows he's an imposter."

Donald Trump took part in a series of meetings with Republicans

On Thursday, June 13, Trump participated in a series of meetings with Republicans to discuss a range of topics, including his legal challenges and abortion.

This underscores the former president's efforts to concentrate on the economy prior to the election in November.

Trump is holding these meetings shortly before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and is still actively campaigning for reelection.

The daughter of former California speaker Nancy Pelosi, Christine Pelosi, attacked former President Donald Trump for what she called his "deranged obsession" with her mother.

Christine Pelosi responded to remarks that President Trump had allegedly made in the morning at a meeting with members of the House Republican Caucus. “His deceitful, deranged obsession with our mother is yet another reason Donald Trump is unwell, unhinged, and unfit to step foot anywhere near her — or the White House,” Christine Pelosi wrote on the social platform X.

Christine Pelosi's response was prompted by reported comments from Trump who, during his meeting with House Republicans, allegedly said, “Nancy Pelosi’s daughter is a whacko."

"Her daughter told me if things were different Nancy and I would be perfect together, there’s an age difference though," this quote was tweeted by Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman who noted that the comment was “close to an exact quote.”

"This woman is evil beyond the pale," opined one and another echoed, "That is so funny. It’s Biden’s family who should stage an intervention and get him to retire."
