A San Francisco police investigator has testified that the man accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband said there was “evil in Washington” and he was targeting her because she is second in line to the presidency.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins speaks with reporters after a preliminary hearing for David DePape, Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2022, in San Francisco. A police investigator testified Wednesday that DePape, the man accused of attacking the husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said there was"evil in Washington" and he was targeting Pelosi because she is second in line to the presidency. Authorities say DePape broke into the Pelosi's San Francisco home on Oct.
Lt. Carla Hurley, who interviewed DePape for an hour the day of the attack, testified Wednesday that the defendant told her of other people he wanted to target, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, actor Tom Hanks and Hunter Biden, one of President Joe Biden's sons. Hurley did not say whether police had any evidence of a plot against them, and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said after the hearing she couldn’t comment further.
DePape’s public defender, Adam Lipson, declined to comment after the judge's ruling, saying, “We’ll be fighting this case in court, not in the hallway.” Hurley, who was a sergeant at the time of the attack and was recently promoted to lieutenant, testified that DePape told Paul Pelosi he wanted to talk to Nancy Pelosi because “she is the second in line to the presidency."
Prosecutors presented the hammer that was allegedly used in the assault during Wednesday's proceedings, which were attended by Christine Pelosi, one of the Pelosis’ five adult children. DePape then told Paul Pelosi that if Nancy Pelosi told him the “truth,” he would let her go and if she “lied,” he was going toSan Francisco Police Officer Kyle Cagney, who was one of two first responding officers testified Wednesday that he saw both men holding the hammer when the door opened. DePape did not obey officers' commands to drop the weapon and instead lunged at Paul Pelosi and swung the hammer at him, Cagney said.
