Says U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi “is guilty of treason.”

Publisher’s rating: False

Related reporting identifies the “guilty of treason” statement as an accusation made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene about Nancy Pelosi, rather than a finding that Pelosi was guilty. The report says Greene had called for a treason trial and, outside Pelosi’s office, said Pelosi was “guilty of treason,” alleging that she gave aid and comfort to people illegally entering the country. The excerpt supplies Greene’s stated rationale but no evidence establishing that Pelosi committed treason. The report also places the accusation in context: it says Greene’s remarks contributed to a 2021 House censure resolution that cited her calls for Pelosi’s execution and her liking violent comments. It further says Greene testified under oath during a 2022 court hearing that she did not recall making or endorsing many of the statements. This related reporting documents the accusation and subsequent context; it does not establish the accusation as fact.
