House Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi declined to answer questions on July 17, 2026, regarding her husband's hit-and-run case, prompting a staffer to intervene and end the exchange. The incident involves Paul Pelosi, who is facing a recommended misdemeanor hit-and-run charge following a July 3 crash in Yountville, California, where his vehicle collided with a parked Tesla. Authorities reported that Paul did not call the police after the incident and was later found about a quarter-mile from the crash site with significant front-end damage to his vehicle. He acknowledged hitting something but was unsure of what it was. The Napa County Sheriff's Office has referred the case to the District Attorney's Office for potential charges. Alcohol was not a factor in the incident, and no injuries were reported. This is not the first traffic-related incident for Paul Pelosi; he previously pleaded guilty to DUI in 2022. Fox News Digital attempted to contact Pelosi's office for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
