U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna Questions Nancy Pelosi’s Trading Performance

Anna Paulina Luna said it is "statistically not possible" for Nancy Pelosi to outperform billionaire investor Warren Buffett without insider information, while the post claims Pelosi’s portfolio rose an estimated 17,000% since joining Congress.

Fact Check
The claim has two parts: Luna's statement and the reported performance figure. The Watcher.Guru X post directly states that Luna said Pelosi's gains were 'statistically not possible' without insider information and pegs the gain at about 17,000%. LiveMint independently reports essentially the same accusation and quote framing, which corroborates that this statement was attributed to Luna. Yahoo Finance separately supports the underlying numerical claim by describing Pelosi's return as about 16,930%, close enough to match the post's rounded 17,000% figure. Confidence is medium rather than high because this run did not locate a direct official post, transcript, or congressional statement from Luna herself.
