Man who attacked Pelosi’s husband charged with assault and attempted kidnapping

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) announced on Monday that the suspect in the assault on the husband of Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi has been charged with assault and attempted kidnapping.

Earlier Friday, David Depape entered the Pelosi residence in San Francisco to look for the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Officials said Nancy Pelosi was in the capital, Washington DC, and when they couldn’t find her, Depape attacked her husband, Paul, with a hammer.

The Ministry of Justice stated that Depape was carrying banners, rope and other materials, which was intended to bind the MP.

Paul Pelosi, 82, was hospitalized and operated on after suffering a skull injury.
