There was a break-in at the House Speaker’s Californian home. There the assaulter and Paul Pelosi had a conversation and the latter called 911. Meanwhile, Paul was injured badly. The culprit was identified as David DePape and he was charged with assault using a dangerous weapon, attempted murder, burglary, and other crimes.
When DePape talked to the investigators, he said that the target was Nancy Pelosi and the entire thing was a bid for fighting tyranny. According to him, Nancy is the leader and spread lies supporting the Democratic party.
Last week, Nancy Pelosi had a small chat with the media reporters and told them that Paul was recovering slowly but it will take some more time. The House Speaker also added that head injury is a major thing and it results in an impact that is much more than surgery.
