Police: Pelosi suspect wanted to break speaker’s knees

November 02, 2022

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins addresses reporters at a news conference with Police Chief William Scott standing next to her on Monday, Oct. 31, 2022, in San Francisco. When Paul Pelosi told the intruder his wife was not home, DePape said he would wait — even after being told she would not be home for some days. In the ambulance to the hospital, Paul Pelosi told police he had never seen DePape before, the complaint said. Speaker Pelosi, who was in Washington, D.C., at the time of the attack, returned swiftly to California. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., was among those making light of the attack on Paul Pelosi, tweeting crude jokes about it.
