Nancy Pelosi’s Husband, 86, Facing Hit-and-Run Charges

Mario Anzuoni / REUTERSFormer House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run in California on Friday. Paul Pelosi, 86, was reportedly driving his brown convertible Maserati in Yountville, a town in the heart of wine country, when he struck a legally parked car on the side of the road. According to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, Pelosi briefly stopped and then drove away. The collision caused “major” damage to the vehicle, but no injuries were reported, according to the sheriff’s statement. A witness saw the collision and called 911. Sheriff’s deputies found Pelosi with damage to the front of his car on a road roughly a quarter of a mile away, not long after. There was no alcohol in Pelosi’s system, and as no one was hurt, he has not been arrested; he is facing a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge. The sheriff’s office also referred him to the Department of Motor Vehicles for a process to determine whether he may continue to drive—something officials say is common for older drivers. In 2022, Pelosi pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence in Napa County. He served two days in jail and one in a work program at the courthouse, after getting two days shaved off his five-day sentence for good behavior.Read it at AP NewsRead more at The Daily Beast.

A Kaliningrad lawyer who once defended Russians accused of secretly aiding foreign states now faces that same charge, and says she nearly died in jail

A lawyer in Kaliningrad who once represented defendants in politically sensitive cases has become one herself. Maria Bontsler was arrested in late May 2025 on accusations of secretly cooperating with a foreign state — the same kind of charge she once defended others against. She has since been held at Kaliningrad’s SIZO-1 pretrial detention center, where both she and her lawyer say she has come under pressure. Her defense attorney said on June 30, 2026, that Bontsler had nearly died in custody days earlier, the result, he said, of a “mix-up in her prescribed medications.” A court denied the defense’s request to transfer her to a hospital. According to OVD-Info, a human rights monitoring group, Bontsler has been diagnosed with hypertensive heart disease, a condition accompanied by spikes in blood pressure and a high risk of stroke. On Thursday, July 2, Bontsler addressed a court by video link during a hearing on her lawsuit against the Kaliningrad Regional Clinical Hospital and SIZO-1 over her medical treatment and confinement conditions. What follows is her account of her health and daily life in the Kaliningrad detention center.
