President Trump claimed that Speaker Pelosi 'broke the law' when she tore up her copy of his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. Legal experts say Pelosi was legally in the clear.
"This is just a copy of a presidential speech that Trump handed to Pelosi," Magarian added.
The clause is an “ironclad protection to make sure that the executive branch can’t go after members of Congress for what they do in the course of their legislative duties,” he said., delivered from the lectern at the front of the House chamber Tuesday evening. But as soon as he was finished and while Republicans were cheering his remarks, she stood up behind the president and ripped the speech papers in half."I feel very liberated. I feel very liberated.
Pelosi said the president's decision to not shake her hand had nothing to do with her later ripping up his speech. She said she is a speed-reader, and once she got through the first quarter or third of the address,"I started to think there has to be something that clearly indicates to the American people that this is not the truth."
