David DePape Convicted on Federal Charges for Attack on Paul Pelosi

DePape, who attacked Pelosi with a hammer at his San Francisco home, faces a maximum sentence of up to life in prison.

David DePape, 43, was found guilty on federal charges of attempted kidnapping and assault on account of a federal official's performance of official duties, following his attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The attack took place at the Pelosi's San Francisco home on Oct. 28, 2022, just days before the midterm elections. DePape was arrested at the scene.
DePape claimed he went to the home to talk to Rep. Pelosi about Russian interference in the 2016 election and that her husband was 'never my target.'
Paul Pelosi suffered a skull fracture and was hospitalized for six days. He continues to make progress in his recovery.
DePape also faces state charges including attempted murder, residential burglary and assault with a deadly weapon. A state trial date has not yet been scheduled.
