Following President Donald Trump's State of the Union address in February 2020, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tore up her copy of the speech, sparking accusations that she had broken the law. Trump himself weighed in, telling reporters, First of all, it's an official document. You're not allowed—it's illegal what she did. She broke the law. This claim was echoed by conservative pundits and lawmakers, including Rep. Matt Gaetz, who filed an ethics complaint against Pelosi, citing a potential violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2071, which pertains to the protection of government property and public records. However, legal experts widely dismissed the notion that Pelosi had committed any crime, asserting that her copy of the speech was not an official government document and that she was well within her rights to destroy it.
