President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) traded barbs after the Senate acquittal, both offering contrasting points on the impeachment inquiry and trial, which have dominated American politics and media headlines for the past few months.

It started at the 68th national prayer breakfast in Washington where Trump and Pelosi sat just tables away from each other as they gave their first public remarks since senators voted virtually along party lines to acquit the president of the two charges against him: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
