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.
The federal government’s lead attorney Laura Vartain told U.S. District Court Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley that in the last three weeks, prosecutors have been handling “substantial discovery” of evidence for their case. She said they should be able to wrap up that process by the end of the year, and asked to return to court on Feb. 8. Chaung agreed that will be sufficient time to present to the court.
When Corley asked how the feds are coordinating with the state case, Vartain said she speaks with San Francisco prosecutors often.
Corley set a hearing for Feb. 8 to review discovery.
DePape has also pleaded not guilty to all charges brought by the San Francisco County DA, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment and threatening the life of or causing serious bodily harm to a public official. A preliminary hearing in that case is set for Dec. 14.

Paul next time DePimp.
Jeez, more time to cover it up.
Democrats are the worst.
A simple Breaking and Entry? Yeah, right.
What bs.
I want to know who purchased the condoms.
They need to discover a way of burying all the evidence.
The feds will end up murdering witnesses using the full authority and resources of the Justice Department to get the story they want.
Laughable, they’re not going to do anything.
Depape needs to talk. Guess he’s in isolation being groomed & bankrolled for witness protection somewhere like Proviencetown Cape Cod. Paul is ripe for lock up in assisted living
“...prosecutors told the court they are engaged in “substantial discovery” of evidence in the case.” And suppression of same, I’d wager.
They need to examine his phone for the Grindr app.
A hammer? I thought Depape used a gavel.......snx.
As was expected, this article used one of the three ‘state approved’ face pics of DePapp.
It seems odd that almost no photos of him are in circulation except for the same two or three. Everything about this case is odd, opaque and open to interpretation.
Have you ever seen any photos of the Old Man (Paul) with his bruises? Me neither. Supposedly, Paul was critically bonked on his head with a hammer-A HAMMER! Where are all the blue and purple bruises one would normally expect when a senior gets whacked on the crown?
Mueller will be handling the investigation.
The public will believe whatever we tell them to believe. Transparency is for chumps.
And we still have no camera footage of this??? Let me guess, they will let us see it after 66 years.
