Pentagon Nixed Tammy Baldwin’s Partner On Flight, Pelosi Intervened
Symmary:
In appealing to [Defense Secretary Robert] Gates, Pelosi aides said their boss was simply asking the defense secretary to follow a precedent established by her predecessor, former Republican Rep. Pelosi told Gates that Hastert had allowed Baldwin to take Azar on a previous trip abroad. His only requirement was that Pelosi send him a letter authorizing the trip. Pelosi sent such a letter moments after the phone call ended, and Azar was allowed on the plane.”
