Video of the hammer attack on the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was released on Friday, January 27 by order of a judge. as you can see in the video above.

Nancy Pelosi said Friday, January 27, that she has no intention of viewing these images. “It would be extremely difficult to see my husband’s life attacked,” she told CBS. “My main concern is for my husband’s well-being,” she said, adding that he had “made some progress” but would still need “at least three months to get back home.”
David DePape, a 42-year-old Canadian, former naturist activist and supporter of conspiracy theories on social media, stated that he entered the Pelosi home to attack the speaker of the House of Representatives just days before the midterm elections.
