A partial video showing the moment that Paul Pelosi was attacked by suspect David DePape has been released by the San Francisco prosecuting attorney. Caution: This is graphic. Viewer discretion is advised. The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office tried to argue that releasing the video would distort the facts of the case while lawyers for Pelosi’s attacker, nutjob David DePape, argued releasing the video could “irreparably harm” his right to a fair trial. If he is convicted, DePape could face up to 30 years in prison for the assault and 20 years for attempted kidnapping.

Paul Pelosi had “successful surgery” after being violently assaulted at his San Francisco home last Friday. The 82-year-old suffered a fractured skull and serious injuries to his right arm and hand, according to the reports. Drew Hammill, the speaker’s spokesperson, confirmed that Mr. Pelosi was admitted to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital for surgery. The White House had a live briefing as police investigate the situation. In a statement, Hammill said, “Earlier this morning, Paul Pelosi was attacked at home by an assailant who acted with force, and threatened his life while demanding to see the Speaker.” “His doctors expect a full recovery,” Hammill added. Paul Pelosi was attacked by a man who broke into the couple’s home early that morning and assaulted him with a hammer. David Wayne DePape, 42, was identified by authorities as the suspect.

The San Francisco Police Department suggests that the 42-year-old DePape entered the Pelosi home through its rear looking for the Democratic speaker of the House, who was in Washington, DC, at the time, and he shouted: “Where’s Nancy?”

According to CNN, DePape is then said to have attempted to tie Paul up, saying they were going to wait “until Nancy got home.” Officers were dispatched to the Pelosi residence in the Pacific Heights neighborhood at 2:27 a.m. that day, San Francisco Police Chief William “Bill” Scott said, where they encountered the suspect and Paul, who both appeared to be holding a hammer. Scott said that the suspect then “pulled the hammer away from Paul and violently attacked him with it.” “Our officers tackled the suspect, disarmed him and took him into custody, requested emergency backup, and rendered medical aid,” added Scott.
