Trump: Pelosi “Illegally” Tore Up My Speech [VIDEO]

Law & Crime reports:



You tore the State of the Union address in half. Go directly to jail. President Donald Trump on Friday said that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi broke the law when she tore up his speech, repeating an argument that not even his current favorite law professor endorses.

“I thought it was a terrible thing when she ripped up the speech. First of all, it’s an official document. You’re not allowed. It’s illegal what she did. She broke the law,” Trump told reporters on Friday.

Leaving aside the fact that government employees have actually have to tape together documents that President Trump has torn up, in an effort to prevent him from violating the law, George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley has already written at length about the Pelosi speech-tearing incident and concluded she didn’t break the law.
