Danny Pelosi beat his late wife, Generosa Ammon, “on more than one occasion,” a lawyer for the dead woman claimed in papers asking a Long Island court to dismiss Pelosi’s challenge to her will.
An angry Pelosi denied that he ever tried to harm his wife – and claimed he saved her twice from suicide attempts she made during her terminal illness.
In the statement, attached to a motion to Suffolk County Surrogate Court Judge John Czygier to dismiss Pelosi’s case, Queens lawyer Mindy Trepel claims that the dying Generosa “complained on more than one occasion of having been physically abused by her husband Daniel Pelosi.”
“I never abused Generosa,” Pelosi told The Post. “This is a desperate attempt by [Gerald] Sweeney and Michael Dowd to discredit me to cover up their illegal activities.”
Pelosi has accused the lawyers of fraud and said his wife was heavily drugged when she made her last will.
“Isn’t it funny that the person making this outrageous accusation of me abusing my wife is the same person that notarized that so-called will” and a colleague of Sweeney and Dowd, said Pelosi.
Sweeney and Dowd were lawyers to Generosa and are co-executors of her will, which left Pelosi nothing.
“My wife was a very sick woman. I never laid a hand on her. If anything, I would restrain her from harming herself,” Pelosi said.
Police say Pelosi is the prime suspect in the murder of Ted Ammon, Generosa’s previous husband.
He denies any involvement in the killing.
