Pelosi says interim House speaker McHenry has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building

She does maintain her regular office in the Cannon House office building. An email sent from McHenry’s office to Pelosi’s office just after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening that was viewed by CNN, stated, “Going to reassign h-132 for speaker office use. Please vacate the space tomorrow.” Pelosi said in a statement that she was not in Washington, DC, to immediately move her belongings.

She will lie in state at San Francisco City Hall on Wednesday ahead of funeral services Thursday. Pelosi added in her statement that the “eviction is a sharp departure from tradition,” saying: “As Speaker, I gave former Speaker Hastert a significantly larger suite of offices for as long as he wished.” “Office space doesn’t matter to me, but it seems to be important to them,” she said.
