House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was seen out in New York City on Saturday night 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.
Paul was was arrested on May 28 after he blew a stop sign in his 2021 Porsche and slammed into a Jeep shortly after 10pm after driving home from a dinner party.
He then failed field sobriety test and had a Blood Alcohol Count of 0.08 per cent. He 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.

Officers said he was sitting in the front seat of the car, failed a field sobriety test and his eyes appeared 'red and watery.'
The arrest report noted: 'He was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath.'
It is doubtful either of the Pelosi's drove to the Saturday's event seeing as traffic is heavily restricted in New York's Central Park.
Most high profile individuals usually avail themselves of a driver, normally behind the wheel of a black SUV or limo, rather than attempt to brave NYC traffic.
Either way, it will likely have been a relief to both Pelosi's for them to have been driven to the event where they were seen speaking to celebs including Indian actress, Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
