Overview
- Nancy Pelosi, the former House Speaker, has been served a subpoena related to a criminal case involving her husband's assailant, David DePape, who is due for trial in mid-November.
- The subpoena demands Pelosi to produce certain documents pertinent to the case, following standard procedures when a Congress member is subpoenaed in a civil or criminal matter.
- The subpoena is connected with the violent home invasion incident that occurred last year, where DePape reportedly broke into the Pelosi's San Francisco home and assaulted Paul Pelosi.
- Paul Pelosi, victim of the home invasion, is expected to take the stand during DePape's trial, and indications are that Nancy Pelosi may also appear as a second witness.
- David DePape was indicted on two counts of attempted kidnapping of a federal official or employee and assault on the immediate family member of a federal official, and if found guilty, could face up to 50 years in prison.
