A coalition of news organizations is seeking evidence surrounding the alleged home invasion of Paul Pelosi’s residence in October. The media outlets filed a court motion last week seeking the release of evidence introduced in David DePape’s preliminary hearing. This comes as other stories across the country, such as Biden’s classified documents blunder, have been stealing some of the clout of this bizarre episode. **SNIP** It includes body camera footage from police officers who responded at the scene of the Pelosi residence, footage from Capitol Police surveillance cameras at the home, and video of a post-arrest interview with DePape, according...

A brand new Republican member of Congress from Florida tweeted a shocking joke about the 2022 vicious home invasion beating of 82-year-old Paul Pelosi, husband of former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). “Finally,” slammed new Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.), “one less gavel in the Pelosi house for Paul to fight with in his underwear.” The ugly tweet was apparently Mills’ version of a celebration of the ascendency to House speaker of Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). Mills was also making fun of the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi, who was beaten with a hammer in the middle of the night last October...

For Alexandra Pelosi, the brutal attack on her father earlier this year was a culmination of vitriol that had been building for decades. Her family’s name, she says, has been weaponized for years, turned into a curse word for Republicans. **SNIP** The bubbling political rhetoric that led to that moment is chronicled in a new documentary premiering Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO. The film, “Pelosi in the House," directed and produced by Alexandra Pelosi, the youngest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's five children, follows the elder Pelosi’s career over three decades. **SNIP** “There’s a thread from the very...

- Paul Pelosi was attacked in his home on Oct. 28 by a man authorities said was looking for his wife, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. - Pelosi and the suspect, David DePape, did not know each other, authorities said. - Photos of Pelosi at the Kennedy Center Honors on Dec. 4 do not show any mpox scars on his chin. **SNIP** The attack on Pelosi in his San Francisco home has sparked numerous conspiracy theories, many of which we’ve debunked. His first public appearance sparked another. This one appears to play off the baseless conspiracy that he and his attacker...

SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - Paul Pelosi attack suspect David DePape briefly appeared in federal court Wednesday, where prosecutors told the court they are engaged in “substantial discovery” of evidence in the case. DePape, 42, of the San Francisco suburb Richmond, is accused of violently attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer at the couple's San Francisco home in October. He also faces charges in state court. **SNIP** DePape, who remains in custody with the San Francisco County Sheriff’s Department, appeared in court cuffed in orange alongside his lawyer, Angela Chuang from the Office of the Federal Public Defender....

A Tega Cay City Council member posted on social media that Paul Pelosi — the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — is a “disgusting old man” and that the October attack against Paul Pelosi was brought on by the victim’s own actions. Scott Shirley made his comment in a back-and-forth on Facebook after Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer in his San Francisco home in late October. He also wrote that Pelosi is a “sexual deviet [sic], a serial DUI offender, and a menace to society. He got what he asked for.” He then added: “That is the...

The Biden Department of Justice has some explaining to do. Police body camera footage of the attack on Paul Pelosi contradicts what federal officials had claimed happened on that day. It's the latest revelation of what has turned into extraordinarily bizarre coverage and conflicting stories about the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband. There are contradictory accounts surrounding the details of who opened the door to the house on the night of the attack when San Francisco police arrived at Pelosi's house. Biden's Department of Justice claimed, according to a federal indictment filed earlier this week, that "two officers opened the...

Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) announced Thursday that he will take over as the top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee next year, opting not to become the ranking member on the Senate Health Committee, where he also serves as a senior member. The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is the Senate’s chief oversight committee, which will give Paul broad jurisdiction over federal departments and agencies. Had Republicans won the Senate majority in last week’s elections, Paul could have spearheaded Senate investigations of the Biden administration. The committee has authority to receive referrals on all legislation...

Police body camera video that captured the attack on Paul Pelosi, and the moments leading up to it, contradict one of the details included in the Department of Justice's account of what happened that evening, according to a source familiar with the Pelosi investigation who personally viewed the body camera footage and spoke to the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit. In recent days, the Department of Justice and the San Francisco District Attorney's Office have outlined differing accounts of who opened the door when police responded to Pelosi's 911 call. Senior Investigative Reporter Bigad Shaban shares new details about what...

**SNIP** At 2:23 a.m. Oct. 28, San Francisco police received a roughly 2 minute, 30 second 911 call from Paul Pelosi, who said there was a man he didn't recognize in his home. "Mr. Pelosi also conveyed that the man was looking for Mr. Pelosi’s wife, that Mr. Pelosi’s wife was Speaker Pelosi who would not 'be there for days,' and that the man said he would 'wait' for Speaker Pelosi," according to the indictment. "Mr. Pelosi made clear in the 911 call that he did not know who the man was." DePape is heard in the background of the...

@JackPosobiec Trump-Paul ticket in the works?

Americans were shocked last week to hear that Paul Pelosi had been brutally attacked in his San Francisco home by a mentally ill man named David DePape. But ever since the story broke, getting the facts about what occurred between the two men has been hindered by misinformation and what’s starting to look like a concerted effort to conceal the truth. **SNIP** Someone clearly wanted this story killed. All of the misinformation that’s been reported and retracted over the past week would be easily cleared up if police released the body camera footage of the officers who responded to the...

by Jim Clayborn | RNNOne of the most bizarre details about the Paul Pelosi attack is that there is no security footage being released to the general public, and the mainstream media is trying to pretend that it is no big deal and that everyone should just move along with the established narrative.Initial reports from several media outlets that covered the first moments after the weird attack claimed that Pelosi had no security camera systems working, which is of public concern, considering Pelosi is third in line to be President, especially in these troubling times.The Pelosi's have so far "declined...

The suspect in the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi had a list of people he wanted to target, law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation confirmed to CBS News. David Wayne DePape, the man accused of beating Paul Pelosi with a hammer inside his San Francisco home overnight on Friday, may have been planning to attack more people, the sources said. They have not gone so far as to call the list a "hit list," but authorities believe the suspect may have been planning to target others, the sources said. DePape is expected to be arraigned...

A growing number of Democrats are openly blaming Republicans for failing to rein in a rise in violent rhetoric in the wake of an assault on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, who survived with serious injuries. “A far right white nationalist tried to assassinate the Speaker of the House and almost killed her husband a year after violent insurrectionists tried to find her and kill her in the Capitol,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Saturday morning. “And the Republican Party’s response is to either ignore it or belittle it.” As police continue to investigate the attack, several of Pelosi’s fellow...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says she and the rest of her family are “traumatized” by the disturbing hammer attack on her husband Paul early Friday morning, after an intruder broke into her San Francisco home looking for the speaker and found her husband. “Yesterday morning, a violent man broke into our family home, demanded to confront me and brutally attacked my husband Paul,” she said in her first statement on the assault. “Our children, our grandchildren, and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our Pop. We are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement...
