Paul Pelosi, the husband of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), could face criminal charges over a vehicle incident that occurred Friday in Northern California, The New York Times reported Saturday.

According to a news release from the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, Mr. Pelosi is under investigation as the driver of a vehicle that struck a parked vehicle before “leaving the scene,” the Times reported. Pelosi told investigators that “he knew he had hit something but didn’t know what and that he kept driving his car, which stopped running a short time later,” the Times reported.

Given Mr. Pelosi’s age of 86, the sheriff’s office plans to submit a request to the Department of Motor Vehicles to evaluate his ability to drive, per the Times....

Nancy Pelosi and a conservative reporter who has made a habit of confronting her in Capitol hallways went at it again Thursday — and the former House speaker didn't hold back.

Alison Steinberg, a congressional correspondent for LindellTV, the media outlet founded by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, approached Pelosi (D-CA) in the halls of Congress and immediately invoked their last encounter. "Last time I asked you about January 6, why you turned the National Guard away on January 6, you told me to shut up and that I was repeating Republican talking points," Steinberg said.

Pelosi didn't miss a beat. "Shut up again," she fired back, "because you're speaking lies."...

Abdul El-Sayed's victory in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary has become an "earthquake for the Democratic Party old guard," an analyst reported Wednesday.

Investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein detailed in his Substack how the historic upset was something Democrats hadn't seen since the rise of former President Barack Obama.

"The irony here is that Obama actually won the 2008 presidential primary by less than El-Sayed — just half a percent of the popular vote," Klippenstein explained....

Nancy Pelosi has warned the First Amendment is being crushed by Donald Trump and his administration.

The former Speaker of the House spoke to journalists at an annual dinner for reporters covering Congress and urged resilience in the face of trying times under the Trump administration. Pelosi said, "Let’s make no mistake: we are living in a time when the first amendment is under siege here at home.

"Facts are challenged, truth is distorted, and the press is treated by those in power as an enemy, fake news, rather than vital partner." The Guardian reported that Pelosi had also made comment on the intimidation tactics used against members of the press, and also noted the layoffs affecting The Washington Post. ...

President Donald Trump singled out former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during his State of the Union address, questioning her finances while calling for a ban on congressional insider trading. The move drew criticism from "Morning Joe" hosts, who noted the hypocrisy given Trump's documented receipt of nearly $2 billion since his re-election. Co-host Joe Scarborough exclaimed, "It's just like the hypocrisy is crazy, just crazy," questioning why Trump would raise financial improprieties when he has pocketed such substantial sums. Co-host Mika Brzezinski characterized Trump's remarks as appearing like "projection" and "self-defeating." Scarborough suggested Trump should focus on legislation to build his legacy rather than attacking Pelosi. The hosts argued that Trump opened himself to future scrutiny and investigations by broaching the subject of lawmakers' financial dealings.

Don Bolduc, the Trump-backed Republican who ran for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire in 2022, is supporting Democrat Chris Pappas over Republican John E. Sununu just weeks before the election, the Union Leader reported.

Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general who went back and forth on 2020 election denial, is heading a group of Republicans and independents who are backing Pappas. It includes former state Sen. Rick Russman and Concord lawyer James Steiner, both with histories of supporting well-known Democrats. In a statement, Bolduc pointed to Pappas’ focus on veterans and his record of working across the aisle.

He has no known quarrel with John Sununu himself, but the Union Leader suggests his move may reflect the feud with Sununu’s brother, former Gov. Chris Sununu. In 2021, Bolduc called Chris Sununu a “Chinese communist sympathizer.” Sununu called Bolduc “not a serious candidate” and endorsed his primary rival. Bolduc won the nomination but lost to Sen. Maggie Hassan by 9 points, a result many in his orbit pin partly on Chris Sununu....
