Nancy Pelosi Recounts Attack on Husband in New Book

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, was attacked in their San Francisco home on Oct. 28, 2022.

The assailant—David DePape, a 40-year-old illegal immigrant from Canada—broke into the Pelosi home at 2 a.m. and awoke Paul in his bedroom, demanding to know, “Where’s Nancy?” Paul, after speaking with DePape for several minutes, was surreptitiously able to call the police; as they arrived, DePape hit him several times with the hammer, which fractured his skull.

The attack gained international attention and was widely condemned as unacceptable political violence. Pelosi attributed the attack as a reason she stepped down as leader of the House Democratic Caucus in 2023, a position she had held for 20 years, eight of them as speaker.

DePape was sentenced to 30 years in prison in May.

For the first time, Pelosi has recounted her thoughts about the attack in her latest book, “The Art of Power: My Story as America’s First Woman Speaker of the House,” which was published on Aug. 6.
