A shocking video of a violent attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was released to the public Friday. The video, taken from police bodycam footage, shows the moment a man attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer at his San Francisco residence in October of 2022.
The video shows two officers walking up to the Pelosi residence and knocking on the door. After a few seconds, the door opens and Paul Pelosi is seen standing alongside a second man, later identified as David DePape. The two men appear to be struggling over a hammer.
The suspect, 42-year-old David DePape, had allegedly planned to kidnap Speaker Pelosi, who was in Washington at the time of the attack. Paul Pelosi, 82, was severely beaten with a hammer and was hospitalized as a result.
The video was released after San Francisco Superior Court Judge Stephen M. Murphy ruled there was no reason to keep the footage secret, especially after prosecutors played it in open court during a preliminary hearing last month.
The attack on Paul Pelosi has sparked a national conversation about home security and the safety of public figures. It is unclear what charges DePape will face in connection with the attack.
