Paul Pelosi

Officers were summoned to the house after a call from Paul Pelosi. Officers order the men to drop the hammer, and DePape says “nope” before turning it and swinging at Paul, after which both men topple to the floor and an officer calls for a medic. At the end of the video, DePape can be seen repeatedly swinging the hammer against the exterior of the Pelosi residence and then climbing inside. He planned to kidnap the congresswoman and break her kneecaps if she did not tell him the truth. The body camera footage shows Paul Pelosi and DePape both grasping a hammer when officers arrived at the Pelosi residence in the early morning hours of Oct.

Paul Pelosi suffered a skull fracture and other serious injuries in the Oct. 28 assault at his California home.

DePape told investigators he was "going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to her," according to authorities. When officers arrived, they found the two men struggling over a hammer before Paul Pelosi wa the head, the complaint stated. The officers then enter the home and work to restrain DePape as Paul Pelosi is seen lying on the ground. When the door is opened, Paul Pelosi is seen standing next to the suspect, David DePape, and both are struggling over a hammer. DePape is seen gaining control of the hammer and swinging it at Paul Pelosi. He returned to the public eye in early December, joining his wife at the Kennedy Center Honors.

Glenn Youngkin, the Republican governor of Virginia, joked at a campaign event that voters would “send [Nancy Pelosi] back to be with him in California”. Last June, a man carrying a gun was arrested outside the home of the supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh after threatening to kill him. In court testimony last month, a San Francisco police investigator recounted how DePape claimed there was “evil in Washington” and described his initial plans to kidnap the House speaker. Pelosi, 82, suffered a skull fracture and injuries to his hand and arm in the attack, requiring him to undergo surgery.
