Summary
Nancy Pelosi declined repeated questions Friday about her husband Paul Pelosi's reported hit-and-run case before a staffer cut off the exchange.
California authorities recommended nearly two weeks ago that Paul Pelosi, 86, face a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge over a July 3 crash in Yountville, where investigators said his convertible struck a legally parked Tesla and left the scene.
Deputies later found him about a quarter-mile away with front-end damage consistent with the collision; he reportedly said he knew he hit something but did not know what, and no alcohol or injuries were involved.
Napa County prosecutors will decide whether to file charges, while the sheriff's office also referred him to the DMV for a standard driving-capability review for elderly drivers.
The case revives scrutiny of Paul Pelosi's driving record after his 2022 Napa County DUI conviction, as Nancy Pelosi prepares to retire in January at the end of the current Congress.
