David DePape said he wanted to “talk” with then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi but attacked her husband when he learned she was still in Washington. A federal jury in California found the man charged with beating former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul with a hammer guilty on all charges, including attempted kidnapping of the speaker. Paul Pelosi, 83, suffered a skull fracture in early morning attack on October 28, 2022, just days before the midterm elections. Paul Pelosi testified that he was at the couple’s San Francisco home alone while his wife was still in Washington, D.C. The video showed Pelosi and DePape struggle over the hammer before DePape gained control of it, while officers ordered him to put the hammer down.
