Man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi waives court appearance, future hearings set

Key Facts

Following the attack, Paul Pelosi had surgery “to repair a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands,” Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Nancy Pelosi, said in an earlier statement.
Pelosi was attacked with a hammer at the couple’s home in San Francisco and disturbing new details have emerged about the incident, including that the alleged assailant told police he was on a “suicide mission” and had a list of other prominent targets.
Court documents released on Tuesday show that DePape allegedly awoke Paul Pelosi by standing over his bedside and prevented him from escaping – all while demanding to know the whereabouts of the House speaker.
DePape told officers and medics at the scene that he was sick of the “level of lies” coming from Washington, DC, and “came here to have a little chat with [Pelosi’s] wife,” according to a Tuesday court filing.
