Paul Pelosi’s spokesperson, Larry Kamer, provided a statement, per the Daily Beast, about the DUI arrest and offered a few more details about the crash, while fact-checking some other reports. According to Kamer, Paul was driving home alone from a dinner party, which was just a short distance away.
Via Fox News reporter Chad Pergram, Kamer said that while stopped at an intersection, “[Paul’s] car was hit on the back fender by a Jeep heading southbound on Highway 29.” Kamer added that Paul “was fully cooperative with California Highway Patrol officers who arrived a few minutes later,” and, “A prior driving offense erroneously attributed to Mr. Pelosi is untrue and likely refers to another person with the same name.”
We’re not sure exactly which prior driving offense Kamer is referring to here, but we’ll take his word for it that it doesn’t exist. Meanwhile, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been busy giving a commencement address at Brown University, and speaking at an Asian Pacific Islander Council roundtable in San Francisco, per her Twitter. Nope, nothing to see here!
