Nathan Ballard, a longtime aide to Gov. Gavin Newsom and high-profile Democrats, pleaded not guilty to two felony domestic violence charges in Napa County Superior Court on Tuesday morning after his wife alleged he pushed her into a glass door and tried to suffocate their 4-year-old daughter with a pillow.
At Ballard’s initial court hearing, a Napa County prosecutor said Ballard had not been abiding by a stay-away order involving his estranged wife and two young children as recently as last weekend. Ballard’s attorney Tony Brass said he would accept service of a formal protective order and serve it to his client, who appeared for the hearing by Zoom.
