Man Who Plotted to Kidnap Nancy Pelosi and Attacked Her Husband Gets Life in Prison
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A California judge has sentenced the man who in 2022 broke into Nancy
Pelosi's San Francisco home and attacked her husband Paul Pelosi with a
hammer to life in prison. This comes on top of David De Pape's federal
sentencing earlier this year to 30 years in prison. De Pape admitted
that if then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been present at the time of
his attack, he planned to hold her hostage and "break her kneecaps."
