RELATEDSuspect in attack on Paul Pelosi faces attempted homicide charges
A 42-year-old man, who allegedly targeted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a break-in at her San Francisco home, was charged Monday with a raft of charges by state and federal authorities, including attempted murder, assault and attempted kidnapping in connection with the violent attack on her husband, telling police he intended to hold the speaker hostage.
In announcing the charges against David DePape, the Justice Department said the suspect told police after assaulting Paul Pelosi with a hammer that he had been looking for the speaker and had planned to break "her kneecaps" if she failed to respond to his questions truthfully.
"In the course of the interview, DePape articulated he viewed Nancy as the 'leader of the pack' of lies told by the Democratic Party," the federal affidavit states. "DePape also later explained that by breaking Nancy’s kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other Members of Congress there were consequences to actions."
