The United States Capitol Police was not monitoring security cameras at Paul and Nancy Pelosi's house when an intruder attacked Paul with a hammer on October 28, the department admitted Wednesday.
The cameras at House Speaker Pelosi's house are only monitored when she is in San Francisco,. Since the speaker was in Washington, D.C. with her security detail when an alleged conspiracy theorist smashed his way through a back door, officers were not watching the activity on the home cameras.
Capitol police say they have started an internal review of their handling of the incident. The cameras watching the Pelosis home in the Pacific Heights neighborhood are among 1,800 security cameras tracked by the Capitol Police. The man accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home, beating her husband and seeking to kidnap her told police he was on a "suicide mission" and had plans to target other California and federal politicians, according to a Tuesday court filing. David DePape was ordered held without bail during his arraignment Tuesday in San Francisco Superior Court. His public defender entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf.
According to Associated Press sources, when the intruder, 42-year-old David DePape, broke into the Pelosi's home, he shouted "Where is Nancy?" before the assault.
