Nancy Pelosi Says Husband Paul Has a ‘Long Recovery Ahead’ After ‘Horrific Attack’ – After her husband suffered a “horrific attack” in their San Francisco residence, Nancy Pelosi is speaking out about his condition. The House Speaker’s husband, Paul Pelosi, was battered with a hammer early Friday morning after an intruder broke into their home. On Monday, Nancy provided an update on Paul’s condition.
“Since the horrific attack on Paul early Friday, we have been deluged with thousands of messages conveying concern, prayers and warm wishes,” Nancy wrote on her Instagram Story. “We are most grateful.” She went on to thank “the excellent trauma care medical team at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital,” adding, “Paul is making steady progress on what will be a long recovery process.” “Our family thanks everyone for their kindness.”
Paul underwent brain surgery after being assaulted and struck multiple times with a hammer inside his home. He suffered a fractured skull as well as severe injuries to his hands and arms. The Speaker was in Washington, D.C. with her protective detail at the time of the attack, according to the U.S. Capitol Police, which has partnered with the FBI and San Francisco Police to conduct an investigation.
Authorities have since identified the alleged assailant as 42-year-old David Depape. According to a criminal complaint released by the Department of Justice on Monday, Depape told officers he planned to hold the House speaker hostage, break her kneecaps if she refused to cooperate, and use her as an example for other Democratic lawmakers.
DePape has not filed a plea or spoken publicly about the allegations against him, which include attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, domestic burglary, false detention, and threatening the life and causing bodily damage to a public official.
