David DePape is on trial, accused of attacking Paul Pelosi in his home. Here's what to know.

Opening statements are set to begin Thursday, Nov. 9, in the federal trial of David DePape. The 43-year-old was charged in the October 2022 hammer attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul, in the couple's San Francisco home.

He has pleaded not guilty and has remained in custody.

While DePape's attorneys had tried to get the trial moved from San Francisco, saying it would be difficult to get a fair trial because local media attention on the case had tainted the jury pool, Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley rejected their effort.
