Man Who Plotted to Kidnap Nancy Pelosi and Attacked Her Husband Gets Life in Prison

HeadlineOct 31, 2024

A California judge has sentenced the man who in 2022 broke into Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home and attacked her husband Paul Pelosi with a hammer to life in prison. This comes on top of David DePape’s federal sentencing earlier this year to 30 years in prison. DePape admitted that if then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been present at the time of his attack, he planned to hold her hostage and “break her kneecaps.”
