David DePape repeated a number of false claims in his first interview after his arrest.
Paul Pelosi's alleged attacker told police shortly after his arrest that U.S. Rep Nancy Pelosi's husband"took the punishment instead" after trying to stop him"from coming after evil," and he falsely accused the former House Speaker and the rest of the Democratic Party of a"record-breaking crime spree" in their opposition to former President Donald Trump.
During the portion of the police interview the San Francisco court released, DePape echoes, invokes and outright repeats multiple false claims and conspiracy theories, including about the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. The transcript has been lightly edited for readability, with ellipses indicating pauses in speech and m-dashes indicating interruptions. It doesn't include the portion in which DePape shares his personal phone number and address, nor does it include Hurley reading him his Miranda rights.David DePape : Oh, absolutely.
DD: Um, well, I was gonna basically hold her hostage, and I was gonna talk to her and basically explain to her while I do —DD: And talk to her. If she told the truth, I would let her go scot-free.SFPD: Did you really think that she would — I’m sorry, this thing is so goofy.DD: Absolutely f--king not.SFPD: Yeah. Right.
So he finally hangs up the phone, and like, I’m not in the position where I can, like, openly talk to him because —SFPD: Is he trying to get out?
