Paul Pelosi Leaves San Francisco Hospital After Attack
Six days after suffering a fractured skull in a vicious attack, Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been discharged from the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Mr. Pelosi, 82, is resting at home, recovering from the injuries to his head, arm and hand, the person said. He spent most of his time at the hospital in the intensive care unit, the person said.
Ms. Pelosi has said that her husband faces a “long recovery” process.
A 42-year-old man, David DePape, has been charged by federal prosecutors with attempting to kidnap Ms. Pelosi and assaulting a relative of a federal official after breaking into the couple’s San Francisco home on Oct. 28. He also pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to several state felony charges.
Mr. DePape, who had embraced far-right conspiracy theories, struck Mr. Pelosi with a hammer in front of the police, according to prosecutors, and told investigators that he wished to break Ms. Pelosi’s kneecaps if she “lied” and see her “wheeled into Congress” as a lesson to other lawmakers.
