Paul Pelosi's attacker had plans to target other 'prominent' politicians and their families, prosecutors allege
"The man accused of violently attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer during a break-in at the couple's San Francisco, California, home told cops that he planned to target other politicians and their families, according to a state court filing.
Prosecutors allege that David DePape, 42, told police that he was "on a suicide mission" after he broke into the townhouse in the early morning hours Friday and struck 82-year-old Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer, knocking him unconscious for three minutes.
"I'm sick of the insane fucking level of lies coming out of Washington, DC. I came here to have a little chat with his wife," DePape told officers and medics at the scene, according to the Tuesday filing.
DePape, who faces both federal and state charges for the incident, allegedly sought to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage and told investigators that he wanted to break her kneecaps to send a message to other Democratic members of Congress."
