House Speaker steps out in NYC with shamed husband Paul after he crashed his Porsche while drunk

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was seen out in New York City on Saturday night with drunk-driver husband Paul as she mingled with pop stars and celebrities at the Global Citizen Festival.

Pelosi, 82, appeared together with her husband, Paul, also 82, who last month was sentenced to three days in a California jail for crashing his Porsche while over-the- limit. 

Paul was was arrested in Napa Valley on May 28 after he ran a stop sign in his 2021 Porsche and slammed into a Jeep shortly after 10 p.m. following a boozy dinner. 

He then failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol count of 0.08 percent. 

Paul was also found to have traces of drugs in his system, was slurring his words and reeked of alcohol when he was picked up by cops.

Despite his crimes, he hasn’t been banned from driving, and will instead be forced to fit a special device to his car that’ll make him take a breath test before its ignition starts.

Officers said he was sitting in the front seat of the car, failed a field sobriety test and his eyes appeared ‘red and watery.’

‘He was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath,’ the arrest report noted.

It is doubtful either of the Pelosi’s drove to Saturday’s event as traffic is heavily restricted in New York’s Central Park.

At the event, the couple were seen speaking to celebs, including Indian actress, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who introduced the politician before she took to the stage.

Paul could also be seen lurking in the background of some of the pictures, looking far more sober than in his May mugshot, where he appeared glassy-eyed.  

At the time of the crash, Nancy Pelosi was on official business in Rhode Island and swiftly distanced herself from the incident. 

Paul had been at a dinner with friends prior to the crash and was driving back to his palatial vineyard home.

At the time of the crash, he was attempting to cross State Road 29 – a busy highway that connects Napa and Calistoga – when he slammed into a 2014 Jeep driven by Jesus Lopez, 48. 

At the time of the crash on May 28, Pelosi was attempting to cross State Road 29 – a busy highway connecting Napa and Calistoga – when he slammed into a 2014 Jeep driven by Jesus Lopez at 10:22pm. He had pulled out of Walnut Lane, five miles south of his home with Nancy  

The development comes after DailyMail.com revealed Pelosi was involved in a smash that killed his brother David when he was 16. Pelosi’s accident made news at the time. The San Francisco Examiner reported it on Page 6 in its February 23, 1957 edition saying David had warned Paul to slow down

Earlier this year, DailyMail.com revealed Pelosi has a history of driving incidents and was involved in a crash that killed his brother, David, when he was 16.

According to a 1957 report in the San Francisco Examiner, Pelosi, who was then a high school sophomore, had collected David, 19, from the home of a girlfriend at 12:30 a.m. and the brothers had decided to take a ‘joy ride.’

The fatal crash happened shortly after 2:40 a.m. close to the Crystal Springs Dam just outside of San Mateo and left David trapped under the car where he was throttled by his neck brace.

Although a coroner’s jury later dismissed manslaughter charges against Pelosi, a patrolman quoted in contemporary news reports said David had told his brother to slow down seconds before the crash.

He said: ‘This is a bad stretch – better slow down,’ as they approached a tight curve near the Crystal Springs Dam on the Skyline Highway – now California State Route 35.

Paul told Patrolman Thomas Ganley he tried to slow by shifting gears in the stick shift car, but lost control.

‘The car veered across the road, bounced back from a small embankment, climbed 20 feet up another, spun around and somersaulted simultaneously and ended upside down on the shoulder with both youths underneath,’ reported the Examiner.

David, a freshman at the College of San Mateo, was dead on arrival at the hospital.

The newspaper said David was probably strangled by a brace he wore to support a neck fracture he had sustained when he dived into shallow water in Lake Tahoe.

The San Mateo Times reported that Ganley and another patrolman Jack Rakestraw noted that David’s brace was ‘lodged tightly against his neck’.

‘They jacked up the car to relieve the pressure but the youth apparently was already dead,’ the Times reported.

Paul Pelosi broke his collarbone in the crash and was trapped under the car for a while. He managed to free himself and call for aid.

More recently, Pelosi has been cited twice- both times in 2011 – once for running a red light and once for veering over the center line while driving.

The fatal accident happened six years before Paul married Nancy D’Alesandro, the daughter of a former Baltimore mayor.

She took his last name and went on to be elected to Congress in 1987 and then became the first female speaker of the House of Representatives.
