The man accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer had a list of future targets that included Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks and California Governor Gavin Newsom, a San Francisco police investigator testified Wednesday.
The suspect, David DePape, broke into the couple's San Francisco home Oct. 28, seeking to kidnap the speaker - who was out of town - and instead beat her 82-year-old husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer, authorities said. The violence sent shockwaves through the political world.
DePape said there was "evil in Washington" and he was looking to harm Pelosi because she is second in line for the presidency, the investigator testified.
