Alleged Paul Pelosi attacker charged with assault, attempted kidnapping
The suspect in the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), has been charged with assault and attempted kidnapping, days after he allegedly broke into the couple’s San Francisco home and struck Paul Pelosi with a hammer, causing serious injuries.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the charges Monday afternoon, days after the suspect — David DePape, 42 — was arrested and taken into custody.
DePape broke into the Pelosi home in the middle of the night and struck Paul Pelosi with a hammer, authorities say. According to a source briefed on the investigation, DePape confronted Paul Pelosi and asked “where is Nancy.”
The DOJ said authorities found DePape at the scene with a roll of tape, white rope, a second hammer, a pair of rubber and cloth gloves and zip ties.
