The man who allegedly assaulted Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is due in a San Francisco court on Tuesday for his arraignment.   

  David DePap, 42, faces a number of state charges, including attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said Monday.  Those charges are in addition to the federal charges DePape faces, which include assault and attempted kidnapping.   

  “Obviously he’s been charged with these charges, we’re going to file our complaint, we expect him to be in court tomorrow, and that’s about the most I can say,” Jenkins said at a press conference Monday, adding that the previous arrests and criminal DePap’s actions The story will be discussed in court on Tuesday.   

  Based on DePape’s statements, Jenkins said, it appears the attack was “politically motivated.”   

  “Yes, it appears as if it was, based on his statements and comments made in that house during his meeting with Mr. Pelosi, that this was politically motivated,” he said.   

  According to court documents, De Pape told police he planned to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage, calling her the “leader of the pack of lies” promoted by Democrats.   

  Paul Pelosi is “making steady progress in a long recovery process,” Speaker Pelosi said in a statement Monday night.   

  “Since the horrific attack on Paul in the early hours of Friday, we have been inundated with thousands of messages conveying concern, prayers and best wishes.  We are very grateful,” the statement said.   

  After the attack, Paul Pelosi underwent “successful surgery to repair a fractured skull and serious injuries to his right arm and hands,” according to a previous press release from Nancy Pelosi’s office.   

  The court filing on the federal charges against DePape revealed the most detailed account of Paul Pelosi’s 911 call while the incident was unfolding.   

  “Pelosi said there’s a male in the house and the male will be waiting for Pelosi’s wife.  Pelosi further conveyed that she does not know who the man is.  The man said his name is David,” an FBI agent said in an affidavit unsealed Monday.   

  Paul Pelosi called 911 at 2:23 am.  PT on Friday and police arrived at his home eight minutes later, according to the affidavit unsealed Monday.   

  “When the door opened, Pelosi and Depp were both holding a hammer with one hand and Depp was holding Pelosi’s forearm with the other hand,” the affidavit said.  “Pelosi greeted the officers.  The officers asked them what was going on.  DePape replied that everything was fine.  The officers then asked Pelosi and DePape to drop the gavel.”   

  At that moment, DePape allegedly pulled out the gavel and swung it, hitting Paul Pelosi in the head.  Pelosi “appeared to be unconscious on the ground” after the hit, the affidavit said.   

  “DePape was prepared to arrest and injure Speaker Pelosi when he entered the Pelosi residence early on the morning of October 28, 2022,” the FBI agent said in the affidavit.  “DePape had zip ties, tape, rope and at least one hammer with him that morning.”   

  CNN previously reported that DePape confronted Pelosi and asked where his wife was, yelling, “Where’s Nancy?”  The speaker was not at home at the time of the attack.   

  According to the affidavit, “DePape stated that he was going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to her.  If Nancy told DePape the ‘truth,’ he would let her go, and if she ‘lied,’ he would break her knees.”   

  “DePape was confident that Nancy would not have told the ‘truth,'” the FBI affidavit said.   

  Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas condemned the “horrific, violent attack,” during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Monday.   

  “There is no place for this in this country,” Mallorca said in his first remarks after the attack last week, adding that it was difficult to label the incident “domestic terrorism” because of the legal implications of the term.   

  On the same day Pelosi was attacked, federal authorities warned in a joint assessment that violent domestic extremists pose an increased threat to the 2022 midterm elections.   

  Asked if he was concerned about copycat attacks, Mayorkas said domestic violent extremism is “one of the biggest terrorism-related threats” to the U.S., noting that DHS monitors the threat environment and sends information to state and local law enforcement agencies. law’s.  is alert to the threat.   

  A number of popular Republican figures appeared to expose the attack, including Kari Lake, the GOP gubernatorial candidate in Arizona.   

  “It is not impossible to protect our children at school.  They act like they are.  Nancy Pelosi, well, she has protection when she’s in DC — obviously, her house doesn’t have a lot of protection,” Lake said with a laugh at a campaign rally in Scottsdale.   

  Donald Trump Jr., meanwhile, shared a picture on social media of a hammer and a pair of underwear with the words “Paul Pelosi’s Halloween costume ready.”   

  However, several prominent Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have condemned the attack, although some others, including former President Donald Trump, have offered a more tepid response.
