As President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address Tuesday night, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi couldn’t help but shift her attention on multiple occasions from the president to several pieces of paper she was holding.

Pelosi's interest in the papers caught the attention of many on social media, who wondered what she could be reading in the middle of Trump's address.

A spokesperson for the California Democrat confirmed it was a copy of Trump's speech, according to the New York Times. That didn't stop the internet users from formulating their own theories.
