House Speaker Mike Johnson's chief of staff, Hayden Haynes, pleaded not guilty to DUI and operating a vehicle while impaired charges following an incident where he backed his car into another vehicle shortly after President Trump's speech. He has been ordered to submit to drug and alcohol testing. Johnson continues to express confidence in Haynes, highlighting their long working relationship and Haynes' respected reputation. Haynes' next court appearance is scheduled for mid-May.
The Speaker is aware of the encounter that occurred last night involving his Chief of Staff and the Capitol Police.
Because of this and Hayden's esteemed reputation among Members and staff alike, the Speaker has full faith and confidence in Hayden's ability to lead the Speaker's office.
