FIRST ON FOX: California High Patrol has released photos and videos recorded on the night of a May 28 crash involving Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who pleaded guilty to a DUI charge earlier Tuesday.
The long-awaited video shows Pelosi’s alleged slurred speech and what police previously described as “objective” signs of intoxication, as well as police asking him to perform field sobriety tests.
As Fox News Digital has reported, Pelosi’s 2021 Porsche and the other driver’s 2014 Jeep sustained “major collision damage” in a crash around 10:17 p.m. on May 28, and responding officers found Pelosi in his driver’s seat in his damaged car near the intersection of California Route 29 and Oakville Cross Road.
Pelosi’s voice is not always easily made out over the road noise, but he can be heard telling an officer he had a “glass of champagne before dinner” and also “a glass of white.”

Pelosi told the officers he started drinking around 7 p.m. and finished around 8. After stops at the hospital, the local CHP office and finally the county jail, investigators determined he had a blood-alcohol content of .082%.
Photos also show bruises on Pelosi’s hands and forearms after the crash and damage to both vehicles.
Pelosi spoke to officers with slurred speech and handed them his driver’s license and an “11-99 Foundation” card when they asked for his ID, according to court documents. The 11-99 Foundation is a California Highway Patrol charity that supports officers and provides scholarships for their children.
