A San Francisco judge on Wednesday ruled that San Francisco police body camera footage from the October 2022 hammer attack against Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, must be made public.

Nancy Pelosi, her daughter said, felt "guilty" that her husband was injured by a man who was looking for her. "I think that weighed really heavy on her soul. I think she felt...

Remember when the Paul Pelosi story was big news for a while, then weird things started coming out, and then suddenly everyone stopped talking about it?Yeah, I do.Back in October, the story came, and Democrats pounced on it, pushing the narrative that some deranged Trumpster had broken into the Pelosi home and attacked the husband of the then-House Speaker in some politically motivated MAGA attack. Of course, it was soon revealed that the attack was most definitely not a Trump supporter — but actually a left-leaning supporter of Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ causes, as well as a nudist activist...

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.

Miguel Almaguer, an NBC News correspondent who reportedly was suspended over his Nov. 4 report on Paul Pelosi’s attack, has posted photos on Instagram revealing his location after his sudden disappearance from the public eye.

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...

Nancy Pelosi revealed that she never expected her husband Paul would have been the one in her family attacked when Capitol Police woke her in the middle of the night. The House Speaker also said that the attack would affect her political future after the 2022 midterms – even though she has continuously refused to comment before the incident on the prospects of remaining in House leadership if Democrats lose a majority. In her first television interview since her 82-year-old husband suffered skull fractures in the hammer attack, Pelosi told CNN she was 'scared' when she heard the doorbell and...

However, NBC offers new details this morning on the police response before the attack — and Paul Pelosi’s curious reaction to it, at least at first. According to their sources, Pelosi himself opened the door when police arrived, and rather than walk out, began to walk back toward assailant David DePape. DePape even assured police that everything was “good,” which — given the broken window — police clearly didn’t believe. Only then did the hammer attack occur, prompting an immediate response from the surprised officers, according to NBC:

Here are the key points made: 1. he didn't get to vet the "job" properly as it was offered on very short notice after the speaker's gavel bowed out; he thinks now that it (the gavel) learned details, and took a hard pass 2. (censored) 3. when the other parties met, one said to the other, "is that a hammer in your pocket or are you just glad to see me..."; this is what outraged his "friend" 4. the deceitful media omits a word from the shout, it was actually, "Where's Nancy-boy..." 5. even for San Francisco, he thought that...

When Frank Ciccarelli hired David DePape, he was homeless and living under a tree in Berkeley’s Aquatic Park. But he was quiet, likeable and a steady worker building decks with Ciccarelli for six years, he recalled Monday. And politically liberal. Three years ago, Ciccarelli worked out a way for DePape to move into a converted garage in Richmond. It was that single car structure with a plywood floor that the FBI searched over the weekend. Ciccarelli says over the years, he watched DePape’s steady descent into extremism. It started when DePape would turn off NPR news in the morning on...
