The chief of staff to House Speaker Mike Johnson, Hayden Haynes, was arrested on a DUI charge following President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, according to an NBC News report.
“A driver backed into a parked vehicle last night around 11:40 p.m. We responded and arrested them for DUI,” the U.S. Capitol Police told The Independent in a statement on Wednesday. They didn’t respond to a request for a police report.
Johnson’s office confirmed the incident, according to NBC. A law enforcement source told the network that the police report indicated that Haynes was arrested and released with a citation to appear in court.
Johnson sat behind the president alongside Vice President JD Vance during Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday night.
