Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Gets Big Update From The Court After DUI Arrest

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi has been given a court date following his previous arrest and booking on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI).

According to Fox News, he agreed to a court date of Aug. 3 at 8:30 a.m. in Napa County Superior Court, Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley announced Thursday.

As of Friday, Haley’s office had not yet decided if the Speaker’s husband will be criminally charged. If he is, he will be arraigned at his court hearing, officials said.

“The case is currently under review to decide what, if any, charges will be filed against Mr. Pelosi,” the attorney general said. “This is standard protocol for any DUI case that is referred by a law enforcement agency in Napa County.”

“No decision has been made at this time,” she said. “Any speculation to the contrary is incorrect. When a filing decision is made by the Napa County District Attorney, the media and public will be notified.”

Separately, Fox News reported that Haley’s office has refused to release California Highway Patrol bodycam footage of Pelosi’s arrest, claiming it could “jeopardize” an ongoing investigation.

“The Public Records Unit (PRU) has determined the Department possesses records responsive to your request,” CHP told Fox News Digital in a letter in a response to a California Public Records Act request filed last week.

“However, the Napa County District Attorney’s Office has advised the release of records would jeopardize an ongoing investigation. As such, records are being withheld pursuant to Government Code section 6254 (f).”

Pelosi’s attorney released a statement following his late May arrest.

“Several news reports about Saturday night’s traffic incident involving Paul Pelosi have included incorrect information,” the attorney said. “Mr. Pelosi was attending a dinner party at the home of friends near Oakville.”

“He left that party at 10:15 PM Saturday, to drive to his home a short distance away. He was alone in his car,” the statement continued. “After stopping at the intersection of Walnut Drive and Highway 29, and proceeding across Highway 29 to Oakville Cross Road, his car was hit on the back fender by a Jeep heading southbound on Highway 29.”

The attorney claimed that Paul Pelosi was “fully cooperative with California Highway Patrol officers” and that “a prior driving offense erroneously attributed to Mr. Pelosi is untrue and likely refers to another person with the same name.”

“There are also incorrect reports that misstate the timing of events,” the statement concluded. “Mr. Pelosi left the dinner party at 10:15 PM Saturday. The incident happened a few minutes later.”

Nancy Pelosi’s office released a statement saying the 80-year-old California lawmaker would not be commenting on the alleged crime.

“The Speaker will not be commenting on this private matter which occurred while she was on the East Coast,” spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement.

After Paul Pelosi’s initial arrest, it did not take long for leading figures to sound off about it.

Charles Gasparino, journalist: “With all the money these people make trading stocks you would think they can afford an Uber.”

Mark Levin, radio host: “Can’t really blame him.”

Jason Rantz, radio host: “As long as there’s no special treatment, not sure it’s news that the husband of Nancy Pelosi got a DUI.”

Chad Prather, The Blaze: “Nancy Pelosi’s husband arrested for DUI. If she was your wife, you’d be drinking and trying to get away too.”

Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert: “This Memorial Day weekend, remember not to drink and drive. Save a life, call an Uber. @SpeakerPelosi.”

Conservative commentator Brigitte Gabriel: “Paul Pelosi is worth over $100 million and he can’t afford to call a cab.”
