No, Nancy Pelosi’s impeachment pens didn’t cost $2,025 each (Comments by Richard Arenberg)

Senior Fellow in International and Public Affairs and Visiting Professor of the Practice of Political Science, Richard Arenberg, confirmed to Politifact that a Facebook post accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of purchasing pens costing $2,025 each is "ridiculous." The Speaker did indeed give pens to fellow House members as keepsakes after signing the articles of impeachment, however, their value was much lower.
