Reading Clerk Tylease Alli didn’t provide further details regarding the case in which Ms. Pelosi has been summoned.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has been subpoenaed in a third-party criminal case in California, officials announced on Nov. 1.
Reading Clerk Tylease Alli informed the House of the subpoena on the floor during the Nov. 1 session, during which lawmakers also debated—and ultimately failed to pass—a resolution to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) from the House of Representatives.
Ms. Alli read out a lengthy message from Ms. Pelosi in the chamber informing her fellow lawmakers of the California case, as is the standard process when a House member is issued a judicial subpoena, regardless of whether it’s related to a civil or criminal matter.
“This is to notify you formally, pursuant to rule 8 of the rules of the House of Representatives, that I, the Honorable Nancy Pelosi, speaker emerita and U.S. representative for the 11th Congressional District of California, have been served with third-party subpoenas from the prosecution and the defendant to produce documents in a criminal case [in the] United States District Court for the Northern District of California,” the reading clerk said.
“After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I have determined that compliance with subpoenas is consistent with the privileges and rights of the House to the extent it requires production of non-privileged information. The responses to the subpoenas will be identical.”
Ms. Alli didn’t provide further details regarding the case in which Ms. Pelosi, 83, has been summoned.
The House of Representatives declined to comment when contacted by The Epoch Times, citing ongoing legal matters.
