The man accused of breaking into Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home and beating her husband with a hammer has pleaded not guilty to state charges.
David DePape, 42, appeared in a California court on Wednesday wearing a jail-issued orange sweater, sweatpants and a black facemask as he denied the charges against him for the October 28 attack on Paul Pelosi.
He only spoke once during the hearing, Mercury News reports, to confirm that he wanted to waive his right to a trial within 60 days.
DePape now remains at a San Francisco jail on a range of state charges, including attempted murder, false imprisonment of an elder, threatening the family member of a public official, battery causing serious bodily injury and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime.
He has previously denied in federal court that he ambushed Paul Pelosi — despite body camera footage showing DePape telling cops at the scene he wanted revenge on Democrats for 'prosecuting Trump.'
During the two-minute phone call, the indictment says, Pelosi made clear he did not know the man, even as DePape could be heard in the background saying his name is 'David' and he is a 'friend.'

Not buying it.
First of all, why waive your right to a speedy trial? What’s in it for him?
“...threatening the family member of a public official, ...”

The longer this plays out, the more accrued interest on his hush money payoff.
LETS SEE AND HEAR THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE!!
This ain’t no way to treat your boyfriend, Paul.
This is new BS. Let's see it.
Nancy set this up..like she set up jan 6.
The Paul Pelosi’s Obama’s Clinton’s it’s like a soap opera who’s doing what to who and how often no wonder D.C. stench is so thick.
“ He has previously denied in federal court that he ambushed Paul Pelosi — despite body camera footage showing DePape telling cops at the scene he wanted revenge on Democrats for ‘prosecuting Trump.’
BS!
This is the FIRST I’ve ever heard of this swill and if it were true the body cam footage would’ve already been released!
This is outright lies and propaganda.
Free room and board. He lives in a bus. Maybe protection.
Paul’s muddled decision making is ruining lives - I hope, Nancy’s.
“First of all, why waive your right to a speedy trial? What’s in it for him?”
That is likely his lawyer advised.
Provides more time to build a defense.
The primary witness is over 80 years old and time is not on his side.
Delay that trial as long as possible.
Interesting how his side of the story has never gotten out.
Paul wearing Nancy's purple silks shouldn't have been called in. They may have clashed with the earrings, but that's not a crime.
maybe just quick thinking on his part
He merely pleaded not guilty. He is trying to avoid the “premeditated” part. He has confessed. Read this local report.

"Dave's not here, man."
No quick thinking. Long-time coming.
I wonder how much Nancy Pelosi had her henchmen pay the hammer guy to teach her philandering spouse a lesson.....
