House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was scheduled to leave this afternoon when President Trump canceled use of the military aircraft, two White House officials said.
Another source said she is still at the Capitol but was supposed to depart this afternoon.
The administration "worked with the Air Force and DOD and basically took away the rights to the plane from the speaker."
This official argued that Pelosi's trip would have "guaranteed" that federal workers would not get a paycheck since she would have been out of the country — even though there is no deal currently on the table for those paychecks to go out.
"Nancy Pelosi and Democrats were guaranteeing that 800,000 people were going to lose their paychecks today," the official said.
