Two Republican House members have sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking whether House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) broke federal law when she ripped up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech earlier this year.

Trump delivered the address in February after an especially contentious period in Congress, coming weeks after the House voted to impeach him. The Senate ultimately did not convict him.
