A local NBC affiliate reported several of the same claims surrounding the attack on Paul Pelosi that NBC News retracted from its 'Today' report earlier this month.
local affiliate KNTV, which is branded as NBC Bay Area, aired an explosive report with highly similar details indicating Pelosi opened the door for police and didn’t immediately attempt to escape. Anchor Jessica Aguirre told viewers the NBC Bay Area investigative team"looked into why state and federal prosecutors each describe one specific detail of the police response differently," before tossing it to reporter Bigad Shaban.
"This all has to do with the moments, seconds really, just before Paul Pelosi was struck in the head with a hammer inside his San Francisco home. Now, there continues to be contradicting accounts of a relatively simple question," Shaban told viewers."Who opened the door that night when San Francisco police arrived to the Pelosi house?"indicates"two officers" opened the door, but the San Francisco District Attorney’s office had previously stated,"Mr. Pelosi opened the door with his left hand." Shaban then cited"a source familiar with the investigation who personally watched the police body camera footage from that night," and said officers"knocked on the door of the Pelosi home, then backed away, and the video clearly shows Paul Pelosi open the door with his left hand." "The body cam video shows officers having a brief conversation with Pelosi and David DePape… before DePape starts beating Pelosi with a hammer," Shaban reported."We reached out to the Department of Justice for an explanation of its differing account of this seemingly innocuous issue of who opened the door, but so far, we have not heard back." An NBC Bay Area report on the Paul Pelosi attack quoted a source who said Pelosi opened the door for police the night of the assault. The local NBC reporter also spoke with then-interim San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. Shaban asked,"Are you able to shed any light as to why Paul Pelosi didn’t run out of the house towards police officers when he was able to actually open the door for them when they arrived?" Jenkins responded by saying it’s not fair to play"Monday morning quarterback" when analyzing how a victim responded to a crime. NBC News has refused to explain what violated standards in its Nov. 4 story, and Almaguer has not appeared on air since his report was removed.
