House Speaker emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) revealed to Congress on Wednesday that she has been subpoenaed as part of a federal criminal case in her home state, as her husband’s attacker heads to trial later this month.
“This is to formally notify you pursuant to Rule Eight of the rules of the House of Representatives, that I, the Honorable Nancy Pelosi, Speaker Emerita, and US Representative for California’s 11th Congressional District, have been served with a third-party subpoena. from the prosecution and defendants to produce documents in criminal cases and the United States District Court for the Northern District of California,” the House clerk read on the floor during the proceedings.
“After consulting with the Office of General Counsel, I have determined that compliance with the subpoena is consistent with House privilege to the extent that it requires the release of non-privileged information. The response to the subpoena is the same,” Pelosi’s statement said.
“We have no comment on the possibility that the Speaker Emerita may have received a subpoena and no further comment on the case in general at this time,” a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California told The Post in a statement. .

DePape’s public defender did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Interested parties in the case listed in the court docket also did not respond to requests for comment.
Pelosi’s spokesman declined to comment on “ongoing legal matters,” but sources suggested to The Post that the subpoena was related to David DePape, the 42-year-old man who broke into the former speaker’s San Francisco home in October 2022 and attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi , with a hammer.
“Where’s Nancy?” DePape asked Paul Pelosi and threatened him before the 83-year-old man could make a 911 call.
Bodycam footage from police officers who later responded to the scene showed DePape opening the door with a hammer before raising it over Paul Pelosi’s head to beat him.
The speaker emerita’s husband was hospitalized and underwent surgery to repair a fractured skull and other injuries.
The two sealed subpoenas were recorded in the case docket on September 19, 2023.
The Federal Public Defender for the Northern District of California in a Monday filing disclosed part of an interview with DePape about his motivations.
Bay Area lunatic calls out Pelosi’s “lies” to the American public, calls her a “gangster”, and claims the lies were spread by former Secretary of State “Hillary [Clinton] and the DNC” on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Prosecutors indicted DePape on November 9, 2022, on two counts of attempted kidnapping of a federal official or employee and assault on a federal official’s immediate family member.
If convicted on both charges, he faces a maximum of 50 years in prison.
On Friday, the parties will appear at 10 a.m. before US District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley for a final pretrial conference in San Francisco federal court. Jury selection is scheduled to begin on Nov. 6. The trial is scheduled to begin on Nov. 13.
Paul Pelosi is expected to take the stand in DePape’s case when the trial begins on Nov. 13, sources told The Post. Court filings also show Nancy Pelosi appeared as a second witness.
A separate state case involving DePape has a hearing scheduled for Nov. 29, when the parties will discuss a final trial date.
