House Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., declined to answer repeated questions Friday about her husband's hit-and-run case before a staffer intervened to halt the exchange.

"Ok, that's enough. That's enough!" the staffer said after reporters pressed Pelosi for comment on the incident involving her husband, Paul Pelosi. The brief exchange occurred nearly two weeks after California authorities recommended that Paul Pelosi face a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge.

According to the Napa County Sheriff's Office, the 86-year-old was driving a convertible that collided with a legally parked, unoccupied Tesla. Witnesses reported that the car briefly stopped before leaving the scene, and Paul Pelosi did not immediately call the police. He was later found about a quarter-mile from the crash site, and his vehicle showed damage consistent with the collision. He reportedly told deputies he knew he had struck something but was unsure of the exact object.

The sheriff's office recommended that the Napa County District Attorney's Office file a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge. Prosecutors will make the final decision on whether to file criminal charges. Authorities stated that alcohol was not believed to be a factor in the incident, and no injuries were reported. A preliminary alcohol screening test found no alcohol in his system.

The sheriff's office also referred Paul Pelosi to the California Department of Motor Vehicles for a driving capability evaluation, a standard procedure for elderly drivers involved in similar crashes.

This incident follows previous traffic-related legal issues for Paul Pelosi. In 2022, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor driving under the influence after a Napa County crash that injured another driver. He received three years of probation, was ordered to pay over $6,000 in restitution and fines, complete a DUI education program, and install an ignition interlock device in his vehicle for one year.

Paul Pelosi also made headlines in late 2022 when he was seriously injured during a home invasion in San Francisco, where an intruder assaulted him with a hammer. The attacker, David DePape, was later convicted in both federal and state courts for the assault.

Nancy Pelosi is scheduled to retire at the end of the current Congress in January, after nearly four decades in office.
