What was Pelosi reading during Trump's State of the Union? Twitter has some thoughts
As President Donald Trump addresses a joint Congress in his State of the Union Tuesday night, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could be seen holding papers in front of her face during the president's speech.
Pelosi's reading quickly caught the attention of some on social media, and many wondered what she could be reviewing as the address continued.
Pelosi was looking over her copy of Trump's speech, a spokesperson confirmed to The New York Times.
Even though there was an explanation, images from cable news quickly tuned into memes, joking that Pelosi had brought reading material and guessing that it could be special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Nancy Pelosi looks like she’s really into reading something else. Maybe Ted Bundy’s Wikipedia page.
