The Justice Department announced federal charges against David DePape, 42, in the attack last Friday on Paul Pelosi, the 82-year-old husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), at the couple’s San Francisco home.
Kristinn Taylor reported on the announcement earlier.
DePape is being charged with assault on a family member of a U.S. official and one count of attempted kidnapping of a U.S. official, Nancy Pelosi, who was not home at the time.
In the charging documents, the Justice Department, via interviews with Paul Pelosi and DePape lay out the government’s version of events (TGPsummary):
The two men did not know each other. DePape broke into the house via a rear door using a hammer and went upstairs looking for Nancy Pelosi. He found Paul Pelosi in bed and told him he was looking for Nancy. Not finding her home he told Paul he would wait for her. He let Paul go to the bathroom where Paul made a 911 call, which apparently DePape overheard. The two went downstairs where Paul opened the door when police knocked. Paul was not attacked until police arrived when he was apparently beaten unconscious by DePape with a hammer while police confronted the men. DePape had a bag with zip ties, rope, tape, gloves, another hammer and a journal.
DePape said his plan was to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage to get her to tell the truth and let her go if she did tell the truth, but if she lied he would break her kneecaps.
“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.” Both men were interviewed by law enforcement, with DePape reportedly speaking after being read his Miranda rights.

Oh, suuuuure. I believe every word of that.
Hé carried a lot of gear up a steep hill.
He got jealous of Paul's beard (Nancy).
Oops...now there’s a DARN good reason why he was in Pelosi’s bedroom that doesn’t involve butt sex....
Okay. Pelosi did not immediately hide behind the police? He did not say "Arrest this man...he's an intruder!" The police just stood there watching them UNTIL Pelosi was being hit by a hammer?? It SURE seems like they were both drunk and the police were highly amused by the "interaction" until the hammer play started.
Thank you! 😁 That makes more sense and is so logical, compared to ANY explanation I've heard from our trusted media...
And the home alarm system didn’t activate...
Maybe they should check Paul’s bed sheets with a UV flashlight...
Plooking too hard will really take it out of you.
Criminals in democrat hellholes are out of jail before their victims are out of the hospital. That’s the norm - that’s democrat progressive ‘compassion’.
That won’t be the case with Paul Pelosi’s criminal. He’ll serve his time - and won’t be released tomorrow to hit on the other neighborhood mansions. Nope, the ‘elites’ don’t have to worry.
One standard for ‘elites’ and one brutish ‘no protection’ standard for the rest of us.
The next story will be that Trump drove him to Pelosi’s home.
90% of that is UNTRUE!!
The Pelosi’s OWN the SFPD AND the one in Napa!! CORRUPT COPS are EVERYWHERE!
No doubt.
But as I said....police departments can give a class on gossip and loose lips. The truth of what happened is out there and will soon be widely known throughout the department. It’s inevitable.
But they’re friends.
David DePape might get deported back to Canada, and we will never see him nor hear from or about him again.
