They were looking for ways to "build some trust and confidence" with Trump, Pelosi, D-Calif., said in an interview Friday. Schumer, D-N.Y., inadvertently shared his impression of the duo's Wednesday parley with Trump, which moved an immigration agreement forward, catching uninvited Republican leaders flat-footed. Schumer, 66, has been Senate Democratic leader since January and is viewed by colleagues as a people person. Then-Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., invited Pelosi to join a group of lawmakers who dined weekly and already included Schumer. She moved to her husband's hometown of San Francisco and plunged into local politics, entering Congress in 1987 and leading House Democrats since 2003.
