File photo: In this image taken from San Francisco Police Department body-camera video, the husband of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Paul Pelosi, right, fights for control of a hammer with his assailant David DePape during a brutal attack in the couple’s San Francisco home, on Oct. 28, 2022.
Opening statements are set to begin Wednesday, a day after DePape’s federal sentencing was reopened to allow him to speak. On Tuesday, Corley apologized to DePape, 44, and to attorneys for her error and asked if he wished to address the court. DePape admitted during his federal trial testimony that he planned to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage, interrogate her and “break her kneecaps” if she did not admit to the lies he said she told about “Russiagate,” a reference to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.
DePape also testified under cross-examination that he told a San Francisco police detective that he had hoped to see an injured Pelosi wheeled onto the floor of the House so everyone would know there were consequences for being “the most evil people on the planet.”Biden bestows Medal of Freedom to Pelosi, Evers, Ledecky, others
