Nancy Pelosi faces backlash over tweet about Trump's indictment and trial.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's statement on the indictment of former President Donald Trump has been criticized for its inaccuracy on the rule of law in the United States. Pelosi claimed that Trump has the right to a trial "to prove innocence," which is incorrect as the cardinal principle of the justice system in the US is that any person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Trump was indicted by a New York City grand jury for hush money payments made before the 2016 election.
