'Tremendous Shock': Paul Pelosi Testifies in Trial of His Attacker, David DePape | KQED

Paul Pelosi testified Monday afternoon in the federal criminal trial of David DePape, who is charged with assaulting him during a home invasion last year and attempting to kidnap his wife, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi told the court he had been asleep in his third-floor bedroom early in the morning of Oct. 28, 2022.

“The door opened, and a very large man came in,” Pelosi testified in the San Francisco courtroom, pausing to take a deep breath, “with a hammer in one hand and some ties in the other hand.”

“And he says, ‘Where’s Nancy?’ I think that woke me up,” he continued. “It was a tremendous shock to recognize someone had broken into the house. I recognized I was in serious danger.”
