Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak has a souvenir to remember the ongoing impeachment trial. On Thursday, the game show host took to Twitter to reveal that he had recently acquired a President Donald Trump impeachment pen, setting the comments section alight with fans cracking jokes. His tweet came just after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sent the two impeachment articles against the president to the Senate for trial.
Sajak did not reveal if he had purchased the pen himself or if he had somehow managed to get his hands on one of the rare souvenir pens bearing her name that Pelosi used to sign impeachment articles and a resolution naming House managers of the upcoming impeachment trial on Wednesday. A number of identical pens had also been handed out to those in attendance.
Although the action caused plenty of controversy, NBC Montana reports that souvenir pens "are swag in Washington" and "can be seen framed and hung in lobbies across the city as trophies of proximity to power." However, they are typically handed out under more celebratory circumstances and not during impeachment proceedings.
