Pelosi didn’t go into detail about Gingrich’s past transgressions, but she tipped her hand. “One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich,” Pelosi said. “I know a lot about him.

While governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney awarded millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to companies run by political supporters — companies that have both since gone bankrupt.
