DEVELOPING: Footage of the attack on Paul Pelosi will be released to the public after a San Francisco Superior Court judge denied prosecutors' request to keep it secret.
Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's husband, was asleep at the couple's San Francisco home on Oct. 28 when someone broke in and beat him with a hammer. Prosecutors have charged 42-year-old David DePape in connection with the attack.
But when news organizations asked for copies of that evidence, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office refused to release it. The attack, which occurred just days before the 2022 midterm elections, prompted intense speculation from the public that fueled the spread of false information. But the news agencies argued it was vital for prosecutors to publicly share their evidence that could debunk any false information swirling on the internet about the attack.
The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office did not respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.
