Nancy Pelosi’s lectern is back.
The House speaker’s podium — which was snatched by a Florida man during last week’s mayhem at the US Capitol — was returned to the building Wednesday.
Videos posted on Twitter showed a staffer wheeling the lectern through the Capitol’s Statuary Hall and to the Rayburn Room, just off the floor of the House of Representatives.
Pelosi (D-Calif.) was expected to speak at the podium later Wednesday, after the House votes on an article of impeachment accusing President Trump of inciting an insurrection in the deadly Jan. 6 riot.
One of the president’s supporters, Adam Johnson, was caught on camera grinning and waving while toting Pelosi’s lectern during the siege.
Johnson, 36, of Parrish, Fla., was arrested Friday and faces charges including knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and theft of government property.
He was released Monday on $25,000 bond.
