Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has publicly questioned President Donald Trump's mental fitness. She made the claim following his recent televised address to the nation.
In an interview with ABC News, Pelosi stated that the President's "mental incapacity" was visible during the speech. She did not provide specific medical details or examples from the address.
The White House has not yet responded to this criticism. Pelosi, a leading Democrat, is a frequent political opponent of the Republican President.
Such direct comments about a sitting president's mental state from a high-ranking official are rare in modern U.S. politics.
