The man accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul is being charged with attempted murder, residential burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, false imprisonment of an elder, and threats to a public official and their family, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced in a Monday press conference.
David Wayne DePape was also charged Monday with federal counts of assault on the immediate family member of a federal official and attempted kidnapping of a federal official.
Jenkins said they "do believe" DePape intended to murder Mr. Pelosi, and that his actions were politically motivated. "What is clear, based on the evidence that we have thus far, is this house and the speaker herself were specifically targets of the defendant," Jenkins said.
