Pelosi sure doesn’t want to talk about 1 thing.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to answer questions after her husband, Paul Pelosi, was charged in connection with an alleged hit-and-run crash, remaining silent as reporters repeatedly asked whether she believed the case was fair.
As Pelosi walked to her vehicle, Fox News Digital asked if she thought the misdemeanor charge filed against her husband was justified. She did not respond and left without making any public comment.
Paul Pelosi, 86, now faces a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge filed by the Napa County District Attorney’s Office. If convicted, he could face up to six months in county jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. Prosecutors also cited him for allegedly making an unsafe turn during the July 3 incident.
According to investigators, Pelosi allegedly struck a parked Tesla and left the scene without attempting to identify the vehicle’s owner or provide his information, a requirement under California law.
Authorities say Pelosi continued driving his Maserati convertible for approximately half a mile before the vehicle became disabled. Deputies later located him, where he reportedly acknowledged that he knew he had hit something but claimed he did not know exactly what. He also told investigators he intended to return to the scene.
Following the incident, law enforcement recommended that Pelosi complete a behind-the-wheel driving evaluation to determine whether he remains capable of safely operating a motor vehicle.
The case has renewed attention on Pelosi’s past driving record.
In 2022, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor driving under the influence after a collision with an oncoming Jeep in Napa County that left another driver injured.
Reports have also noted that Pelosi was driving during a 1957 crash that resulted in the death of his 19-year-old brother. A jury ultimately cleared him of legal responsibility in that case.
Nancy Pelosi also declined to answer questions about a separate political controversy involving her recent vote on U.S. aid to Israel.
The former speaker joined more than 100 House Democrats in supporting an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., that sought to eliminate roughly $3.3 billion in U.S. assistance to Israel.
The proposal was defeated by a 314-104 vote, with Massie standing as the only Republican to support the measure.
Although the amendment failed, the vote highlighted growing divisions within the Democratic Party over U.S. policy toward Israel and the ongoing war in Gaza.
In recent election cycles, progressive Democrats critical of Israel have increasingly defeated establishment candidates in primary races, signaling changing political priorities within parts of the party.
Meanwhile, attention is expected to remain on Paul Pelosi’s legal case as it moves through the California court system, while Nancy Pelosi continues to face questions about both the charges against her husband and the political issues surrounding her recent votes.
