Video footage captured by local police body cameras cited by CNN showed the chaotic scene when the attacker David Depape launched the attack.
In the video, Paul Pelosi and De Papp were holding a hammer at the same time. When the police opened the door, De Papp was holding Paul Pelosi’s arm. The police demanded, “Put down the hammer,” to which DePape replied, “Uh, no.” Subsequently,De Pape snatches hammer, throws at Paul Pelosi, hits him in the head. Police then stormed Pelosi’s home, overpowered DePape and handcuffed him.
According to the police’s interrogation audio of De Papp, after being arrested, De Papp said “I know exactly what I did”, “Well, basically I’m going to take her (Nancy Pelosi) as a hostage , I’m going to talk to her. If she tells the truth, I’ll keep her safe.If she lies, I’ll break her kneecap。”According to court documents,DePape was going to tie Pelosi up.
CNN reported that the recording of the interrogation showed that De Pap was influenced by conspiracy theories about the Democratic Party of the United States and Pelosi.Think Nancy Pelosi and Democrats spied on former President Donald Trump’s campaign。
Regarding the recording of Paul Pelosi’s alarm call, CNN reported that Paul Pelosi seemed to be trying to “subtly” tell the dispatcher that he was in danger because De Papp was also listening to the phone at the time.
The security camera installed by the U.S. Capitol Police at Pelosi’s San Francisco residence captured the picture of De Papp breaking the glass of the residence and breaking into Pelosi’s house.
The video and audio files, which were exhibited in a preliminary court hearing, were released after a California court ruled that the district attorney’s office must release the material, CNN reported. The court’s decision to make the material public follows a motion from a coalition of news organizations, including CNN. The news organizations argued that the situation involving the residence of the then Speaker of the House needed to be transparent. CNN reported that De Papp’s lawyers objected to the release of the audio and video, saying it would “irreparably impair” De Papp’s right to a fair trial. The report mentioned that DePap pleaded not guilty to a series of state and federal crimes related to the attack, including assault and attempted murder.
CNN reported that Nancy Pelosi briefly told reporters on the afternoon of the 27th local time that she “absolutely does not want to see a fatal attack on her husband (video).” She said Paul Pelosi was “gradually recovering, but it will take more time” and said she would make no further public comments on the case.
