Pelosi received a briefing on interrogation by CIA officials when she served as ranking Democrat on the Intelligence panel in 2002, but she has asserted that she was never told that waterboarding and other harsh practices were used, only that intelligence officials thought them legal.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, however, has since released information calling Pelosi’s assertion into question. A DNI chart released earlier this month asserted that Pelosi received a briefing in September of 2002 during which she was given a description of interrogation methods used on a suspected terrorist.

Pelosi has claimed a different recollection of the briefing.

“Trying to understand what she was told is almost impossible; her story changes almost every day,” said Graham.
