During his State of the Union address, Trump urged a ban on congressional stock trading and singled out Pelosi. Center outlets split between coverage of the stock-trading jab and allegations, and coverage of Pelosi's criticism of Trump's omission of the Epstein files. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Trump's challenge over Pelosi's stock trading; some portray the jab as entertaining or justified and mock her response, while others report her account that she supported the proposal.
