Moment Nancy Pelosi is SERVED with subpoena on House of Representatives floor, ... trends now
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was served with a subpoena which was announced live on the floor of the House of Representatives Wednesday evening, believed to be related to the attack on her husband.
Pelosi, 83, made the announcement that she must 'produce documents in a criminal case in California' via the House Clerk, a standard procedure for members of Congress.
Tylease Alli, the 'reading clerk,' keeps track of changes to legislation made on the floor and was appointed by the Democrats.
'This is to notify you formally pursuant to Rule Eight 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 and United States District Court for the Northern District of California,' the statement read.
'After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I have determined that compliance with the subpoenas is consistent with the privileges and of the House to the extent it requires production of non-privileged information. The responses to the subpoenas will be identical,' it continued.

Pelosi has made no official comment on the subpoena itself, according to Fox News.
A source said that the subpoena is in relation to the violent attack made against her husband Paul Pelosi by home invader Paul DePape last year.
DePape is a former nudist from British Columbia who has struggled with drugs and posts crazed COVID conspiracy theories, anti-Semitic rants, racist slurs and unhinged screeds about religion online.
Cops say were at the property in the exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood when they saw the suspect grapple with Pelosi, take the hammer and then hit him with it, causing severe head, arm and hand injuries.
When they arrested Depape, they found a manifesto that contained anti-government COVID beliefs and a list of other politicians he planned to target, KTVU reported.
Pelosi was taken into surgery to repair a skull fracture after the attack but is expected to make a full recovery, while DePape is in custody and set to be charged with multiple felonies including attempted homicide.
President Joe Biden called the attack 'horrible' and Republican and Democrats condemned the violence as the House Speaker rushed from DC to San Francisco to be at her husband's side.
DePape grew up north of the border but moved from British Columbia to California 20 years ago. He followed a love interest, his stepfather told CNN, and family members have insisted he was a 'good kid'.
