Riley Gaines, a former college swimmer, said she was assaulted during a performance at San Francisco State University, where she spoke out against allowing transgender women to compete on women’s teams, CNN reported.

“I was physically attacked by a person. I was hit twice, both times hitting my shoulder with the second hit grazing my face,” Gaines said. “The rest of the protesters just ambushed me and cornered me before I could move out with the help of campus police.”

A video shows her walking after the speech, followed by protesting students shouting, “Trans rights are human rights.”

“We are conducting an ongoing investigation into the situation. There were no arrests related to the event,” university police said in a statement. “The disruption occurred after the conclusion of the event that necessitated it [police] Officers to move the event speaker from the room to another safe location.”

PEN America, a literature and free speech advocacy group, called the incident a “disaster.”

“Physical intimidation or violence is never an acceptable response to speech, no matter how hateful or controversial the speech is,” said Kristen Shahverdian, PEN America’s senior manager for freedom of speech and education.

Wir alle sind dankbar für all die Gebete und guten Wünsche, während er seine Genesung fortsetzt. Danke dich so sehr.” Ihre Bemerkungen wurden von den im Plenarsaal versammelten Menschen mit Beifall aufgenommen. Sie standen fast eine Minute lang da und klatschten. Zoe Lofgren, Vertreterin der Bay Area, saß in der ersten Reihe und wischte sich die Augen.

15. November 2022

David DePape bekennt sich in den beiden gegen ihn erhobenen Anklagen des Bundes, versuchter Entführung und Körperverletzung, nicht schuldig. Er wurde in den Bundesgerichtssaal gebracht, der von fünf US-Marschällen und zwei Sheriff-Offizieren aus San Francisco bewacht wurde. Seine vom Bundesgericht ernannte Rechtsanwältin ist Angela Chuang. Sein nächster Auftritt vor Gericht ist für den 30. November geplant.

9. November 2022

Eine bundesweite Anklage wird von einer Grand Jury des Bundes gegen David DePape erhoben. Er wird wegen versuchter Entführung sowie Körperverletzung angeklagt. Beide Anklagepunkte zusammen ergeben eine Höchststrafe von 50 Jahren Gefängnis. Die Anklageschrift enthüllt, dass sich die Begegnung zwischen Pelosi, DePape und der Polizei an der Haustür des Hauses, als Pelosi mit dem Hammer geschlagen wurde, innerhalb von 15 Sekunden abspielte. Die Anklage besagt, dass DePape plante, Sprecherin Pelosi zu benutzen, um eine andere Person zu ködern, die er ins Visier genommen hatte. Elektronische Beweise, die in DePapes Haus in Richmond beschlagnahmt wurden, zeigen, dass er eine Adresse für dieses Ziel recherchiert hatte, aber die Anklageschrift das Ziel nicht namentlich identifizierte. Ein weiteres Ziel wird ebenfalls erwähnt, aber nicht genannt.

EXKLUSIV: Der frühere Partner des angeklagten Angreifers Paul Pelosi, DePape, enthüllt neue Details über den Verdächtigen

4. November 2022

Ein vorläufiger Anhörungstermin für den Verdächtigen David DePape ist für den 14. Dezember zu den gegen ihn erhobenen staatlichen Anklagen angesetzt.

Zum ersten Mal spricht Nancy Pelosi in einem Video-Update, das auf ihrer YouTube-Seite Team Pelosi gepostet wurde, über den Angriff auf ihren Ehemann. „Danke, danke, danke für Ihre freundlichen Worte, Ihre Gebete und Ihre guten Wünsche für Paul“, sagt der Sprecher. „Es wird ein langer Weg, aber es wird ihm gut gehen. Und es ist so tragisch, wie es passiert ist. Aber wir müssen trotzdem optimistisch sein. Er ist von seiner Familie umgeben, das ist also eine wunderbare Sache.“

3. November 2022

Sechs Tage nach dem Angriff wird Paul Pelosi aus dem Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital entlassen. Er wurde wegen eines Schädelbruchs operiert, erhielt eine Behandlung für Verletzungen an seinem rechten Arm sowie an beiden Händen und wird sich voraussichtlich erholen. In einer Erklärung von Nancy Pelosi heißt es: „Paul bleibt in ärztlicher Obhut, während er seinen langen Genesungsprozess und seine Genesung fortsetzt. Er ist jetzt zu Hause, umgeben von seiner Familie, die um Privatsphäre bittet.“

Einwanderungsbeamte sagen, der Verdächtige David DePape sei illegal in den USA und habe ein Visum für Kanada überschritten. ICE hat gegen DePape einen Immigrationshaftbefehl erhoben. Es ist unwahrscheinlich, dass der Inhaftierte unmittelbare Auswirkungen hat, da Abschiebungen häufig nach der Klärung von Strafsachen erfolgen.

2. November 2022

Die US-Kapitolpolizei hatte Kameras vor dem Haus der Sprecherin des Repräsentantenhauses, Nancy Pelosi, aufgestellt, die jedoch laut mehreren mit der Angelegenheit vertrauten Quellen nicht überwacht wurden. Laut den Quellen sah die Capitol Police das Aufblitzen der Polizeilichter auf der Kamera, spulte das Video zurück und sah den Einbruch.

Ehemalige Nachbarn von David DePape in der Stadt Richmond sprechen über den Mann, den sie kannten. Sie sagen, er habe oft als Handwerker gearbeitet und beschreiben ihn als ruhig.

1. November 2022

David DePape tritt in diesem Fall zum ersten Mal vor Gericht auf, um in sechs Anklagen gegen ihn auf nicht schuldig zu plädieren. Dieser Fall wird in einem Gerichtssaal in San Francisco verhandelt und betrifft Anklagepunkte auf Landesebene, nicht auf Bundesebene. DePape wird ohne Kaution festgehalten. Er wird von Pflichtverteidiger Adam Lipson vertreten.

Eine eidesstattliche Erklärung des Bundes enthüllt anschauliche Details darüber, was sich in den frühen Morgenstunden des 28. Oktober 2022 im Pelosi-Haus abspielte. Es heißt, Pelosi habe um 2:23 Uhr den Notruf 911 angerufen, um einen Fremden in seinem Haus zu melden. SFPD-Beamte trafen um 2:31 Uhr ein und begegneten Pelosi und DePape im Haus, jeder mit einer Hand an einem Hammer. „DEPAPE zog Pelosi den Hammer aus der Hand und schwang den Hammer, wobei er Pelosi in den Kopf schlug. Die Beamten gingen sofort hinein und konnten DEPAPE festhalten. Während die Beamten DEPAPE festhielten, schien Pelosi bewusstlos am Boden zu liegen.“

Pelosi sprach im Krankenwagen auf dem Weg ins Krankenhaus mit SFPD-Beamten. Er sagte den Beamten, er habe DePape noch nie gesehen, bevor er ihn aufweckte und „erklärte, er wolle mit ‚Nancy‘ sprechen“.

Die eidesstattliche Erklärung beschreibt ein Interview, das DePape SFPD gab: „DEPAPE erklärte, dass er Nancy als Geisel nehmen und mit ihr sprechen würde. Wenn Nancy DEPAPE die ‚Wahrheit‘ sagen würde, würde er sie gehen lassen, und wenn sie ‚lügen‘, er würde ‘ihre Kniescheiben’ brechen … DEPAPE erklärte später auch, dass sie durch das Brechen von Nancys Kniescheiben in den Kongress gefahren werden müsste, was anderen Kongressabgeordneten zeigen würde, dass ihre Handlungen Konsequenzen haben würden. DePape sagt, er sei mit einem Hammer durch eine Glastür in das Haus eingebrochen. „DEPAPE hatte an diesem Morgen Kabelbinder, Klebeband, Seile und mindestens einen Hammer dabei. Die Beweise zeigen weiter, dass DEPAPE Herrn Pelosi mit DEPAPEs eigenem Hammer angegriffen hat.“

Die eidesstattliche Erklärung erwähnt auch einen Zeugen, der als privater Wachmann in einem nahe gelegenen Haus arbeitete. Der Zeuge „sah eine Person ganz in Schwarz, die eine große schwarze Tasche auf dem Rücken trug und in der Nähe der Pelosi-Residenz ging“, und kurz darauf „hörte der Zeuge etwas, das sich anhörte, als würde er entweder gegen eine Tür oder ein Auto klopfen, und hörte dann innerhalb einer Minute die Sirenen oder zwei.”

31. Oktober 2022

David DePape, der verdächtigt wird, Paul Pelosi angegriffen zu haben, wird aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen und ins Gefängnis von San Francisco eingewiesen. Bei seiner Festnahme erlitt er eine ausgerenkte Schulter. Er muss am 1. November zum ersten Mal vor Gericht erscheinen.

VERBINDUNG: Ehemalige Nachbarn beschreiben den Angriffsverdächtigen von Paul Pelosi, David DePape, als „leise, ausweichend“

Die Staatsanwaltschaft von San Francisco kündigt ein halbes Dutzend Anklagen wegen Straftaten gegen DePape an, darunter versuchter Mord, Körperverletzung mit einer tödlichen Waffe, Misshandlung älterer Menschen, Wohnungseinbruch, falsche Inhaftierung und Drohung mit dem Leben oder schwerer Körperverletzung eines Beamten. Bezirksstaatsanwältin Brooke Jenkins sagt, dass die sechs Anklagen wegen Verbrechen zu Haftstrafen von 13 Jahren bis hin zu lebenslanger Haft führen. DePape sieht sich auch Bundesanklagen ausgesetzt, darunter Angriff auf das unmittelbare Familienmitglied eines Bundesbeamten, der mit einer Höchststrafe von 30 Jahren Gefängnis bestraft wird. Er wurde auch wegen versuchter Entführung eines Bundesbeamten angeklagt, der mit einer Höchststrafe von 20 Jahren Gefängnis bestraft wird.

29. Oktober 2022

Nancy Pelosi veröffentlicht ihr erstes Statement zu dem Angriff. In einem Beitrag auf Twitter dankt die Sprecherin des Repräsentantenhauses den Menschen für ihre Sorge um ihren Ehemann Paul und sagt: „Danke für Ihre Gebete für meinen Mann und unsere Familie.“ Paul Pelosi bleibt im Krankenhaus.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — In the middle of the night, a man broke into the San Francisco home belonging to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and attacked her husband, Paul, with a hammer. The suspect, identified as 42-year-old David DePape, was arrested. The case resulted in multiple charges on both a state and federal level and a closer look at security for American politicians and their families.

Here is a timeline of the events that began with the attack on Oct. 28, 2022.

Updates are usually posted weekdays by 7 pm

Dec 14, 2022

In a preliminary hearing, a judge finds there is enough evidence to proceed to trial on six state charges against David DePape. Those charges include attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment, and threatening the life or serious bodily harm to a public official.

For the first time, Pelosi’s 911 call was played as well as police bodycam video. The prosecution called two witnesses: a lieutenant from SFPD’s Special Investigations unit as well as one of the officers who responded to the 911 call. That officer demonstrated for the court how he saw DePape strike Pelosi with a hammer. Prosecutors also played a 17 minute clip of DePape’s first interview with investigators, as well as surveillance footage from US Capitol Police that showed how DePape entered the property.

DePape’s arrangement is scheduled for Dec. 28, 2022.

In her speech, Nancy Pelosi said, “For my dear husband Paul, who’s been my beloved partner in life and my pillar of support, thank you. We’re all grateful for all the prayers and well wishes as he continues his recovery. Thank you you so much.” Her comments were met with applause from the people gathered in the chamber. They stood and clapped for nearly a minute. Bay Area Representative Zoe Lofgren, seated in the front row, could be seen wiping her eyes.

Nov 15, 2022

David DePape pleads not guilty to the two federal charges against him, attempted kidnapping and assault. He was brought into the federal courtroom guarded by five US Marshals and two San Francisco Sheriff Officers. His federal court appointed attorney is Angela Chuang. His next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 30.

Nov 9, 2022

A federal indictment is handed up by a federal grand jury against David DePape. He is charged with attempted kidnapping as well as assault. Combined, the two charges carry a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison. The indictment reveals that the encounter between Pelosi, DePape, and police at the front door of the home, when Pelosi was struck with the hammer, unfolded within 15 seconds. The indictment says that DePape planned to use Speaker Pelosi to lure another individual he had targeted. Electronic evidence seized at DePape’s Richmond home shows that he had researched an address for that target, but the indictment did not identify the target by name. An additional target is also mentioned, but not named.

He is now home surrounded by his family who request privacy.”

Immigration officials say the suspect, David DePape, is in the US illegally and has overstayed a visa from Canada. ICE has lodged an immigration detainer against DePape. The detainer is unlikely to have an immediate impact since deportations often happen after criminal cases are resolved.

US Capitol Police had cameras outside of the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but they were not monitored, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. According to the sources, Capitol Police saw the flash of police lights on the camera, rewound the video, and saw the break-in.

A federal affidavit reveals graphic details about what unfolded inside the Pelosi house in the early morning hours of Oct. 28, 2022. It says Pelosi called 911 at 2:23 am to report a stranger inside his house. SFPD officers arrived at 2:31 am and encountered Pelosi and DePape inside the house, each with a hand on a hammer. “DEPAPE pulled the hammer from Pelosi’s hand and swung the hammer, striking Pelosi in the head. Officers immediately went inside and were able to restrain DEPAPE. While officers were restraining DEPAPE, Pelosi appeared to be unconscious on the ground.”

Pelosi spoke with SFPD officers while in the ambulance on his way to the hospital. He told officers he had never seen DePape before he woke him up and “stated he wanted to talk to ‘Nancy’.”

The affidavit describes an interview DePape gave SFPD: “DEPAPE stated that he was going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to her. If Nancy were to tell DEPAPE the ‘truth,’ he would let her go, and if she ‘lied,’ he was going to break ‘her kneecaps’…DEPAPE also later explained that by breaking Nancy’s kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other Members of Congress there were consequences to actions.” DePape says he broke into the house through a glass door by using a hammer. “DEPAPE had zip ties, tape, rope, and at least one hammer with him that morning. The evidence further shows that DEPAPE assaulted Mr. Pelosi with DEPAPE’s own hammer.”

The affidavit also mentions a witness who was working as a private security guard at a nearby house. The witness “saw an individual in all black, carrying a large black bag on his back, walking near the Pelosi residence” and soon after the witness “heard what sounded like banging on either a door or car and then heard the sirens within a minute or two.”

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – Paul Pelosi, husband of the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, was attacked inside the couple’s San Francisco home early Friday, according to the Speaker’s office.

“Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi,” Drew Hammill, a spokesman for the Speaker’s office, stated in a press release. “The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation. Mr Pelosi was taken to the hospital where he is receiving excellent medical care and is expected to make a full recovery. The Speaker was not in San Francisco at the time.”

The San Francisco Police Department did not respond to a KRON4 News request for comment for this report.

Paul Pelosi, 82, is a businessman who owns Financial Leasing Services Inc. A San Francisco native who attended St. Ignatius High, Pelosi married Nancy D’Alesandro on Sept. 7, 1963. They have five children. Their home is in San Francisco’s ritzy Pacific Heights neighborhood, near Alta Plaza Park. Nancy Pelosi has represented most of San Francisco in the House since 1987.

On Jan. 1, 2021, in the lead-up to the violent insurrection at the United States Capitol, the house was vandalized, according to San Francisco police, who stated to KRON4 News at the time that “unidentified suspect(s) had painted graffiti on the garage door and left a pig’s head on the sidewalk.”

But the Democratic House spokeswoman called the Monday visit a “facility” and said the salon owed her an apology for misrepresenting the city’s health care contracts.

“I take the responsibility for taking the word of a neighborhood salon I’ve been to many times over the years and that when they said … we are able to accommodate people one by one and that we can pinpoint Until then, I trusted it, “Pelosi told reporters on Wednesday. “It turned out to be a setup.”

“I take responsibility for falling in love with a setup,” she said.

An attorney for the man who did her hair also said Pelosi was apparently set up.

Matthew Soleimanpour said his client had received permission from the salon owner the day before to make the appointment.

During that phone call, the owner, Erica Kious, “made several critical and very timely comments on Speaker Pelosi,” Soleimanpour said in a statement.

“It appears that Ms. Kious is promoting a Spokesman Pelosi facility for her own futile endeavors,” the statement said.

WATCH: Will Pelosi’s salon visit influence the choice? Political insider weighs

Pelosi faces severe setbacks after Fox News Channel broadcast surveillance videos from the salon showing her walking around the salon with wet hair and a mask around her neck rather than on her face. In the clip, a masked stylist follows her.

Critics, including President Donald Trump, called her a hypocrite and asked why she wasn’t aware of the coronavirus rules in her hometown.

Kious, owner of ESalon SF in upscale Cow Hollow, told Fox News that she is renting chairs to stylists, and one of them told her in advance that Pelosi wanted to wash and blow dry herself. California salon guidelines vary by state, but strict San Francisco officials have not yet allowed indoor salons to open.

Kious said she viewed Pelosi as a “slap in the face” for struggling business owners.

However, in his statement, Soleimanpour said that photos and other information show that Kious had performed maskless indoor services for at least April and that she had also encouraged “and almost forced stylists” to work.

Kious did not respond to repeated requests for comment from The Associated Press.

Violations of the health order can result in a fine, imprisonment, or both. But San Francisco has stressed enforcement education and has been reluctant to punish businesses and individuals.

Pelosi said Wednesday she would not answer any more questions about the visit and at one point asked if reporters had any questions “about the fact that people are dying,” referring to the HEROES Act legislation they are on Called press conference.

A reporter asked why she wasn’t wearing a mask in the short clip.

“I just got my hair washed. I don’t wear a mask when I wash my hair. Do you wear a mask when you wash your hair? I always have a mask,” said Pelosi.

The daily beast

Ex-Trump official was eventually punished under the Hatch Act. Who’s next?

Drew AngererFor years, flagrant violations of the Hatch Act were only competed by “Infrastructure Week” as the Trump administration’s grimest running joke. But nearly three months after President Donald Trump stepped down, a former civil servant was officially disciplined for using his position for political ends – and more may be on the way. Lynne Patton, a long-time Trump organization and former event planner, ran into conflict during her tenure as public liaison director for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, repeatedly banned from the Hatch Act, but openly denied discipline for violating the law. “I just retweeted this amazing tweet from both of my Twitter accounts – professionally and personally,” Patton wrote in a 2019 Facebook post after sharing a meme from a Conservative account. “It could be a violation of the Hatch Act. It may not be. In any case, I honestly don’t care. However, on Tuesday, Patton was finally disciplined for violating the ethics law and accepted a US Office of Special Counsel settlement that included a $ 1,000 fine and a four-year ban on service in the federal government. Patton also had to admit that she knowingly broken the law when recruiting public housing residents to appear in a video for Trump at the Republican National Convention last year. Usually such violations were dismissed as bureaucratic “oopsies” by Trump officials. But with President Joe Biden’s election, the Office of Special Counsel and Merit Systems Protection Board – the government agency charged with ruling on cases of potential violations of the Hatch Act that have been without quorum throughout Trump’s tenure – Ex-Trump official Lynne Patton broke Hatch law with misleading RNC videos: OSC’s Office of Special Counsel would not confirm the existence of an upcoming investigation, but said it slightly curtailed the timing of the complaints filed with the Merit Systems Protection Board: “In order for OSC to file a complaint with the Merit Systems Protection Board, OSC should have filed the complaint while the issue was still a federal employee,” Zachary Kurz, a spokesman for the Office of Special Counsel, told The Daily Beast. “Otherwise MSPB is no longer responsible.” However, the massive number of complaints filed with the board, now in the thousands, means some Trumpworld personalities are nervous that they could actually have ramifications for violating the Hatch Act Let’s put it this way: people will wish they would never have tweeted, “wrote a person close to the White House.” Even in a government characterized by persistent disregard for ethics, Lynne Patton stood out, “said Noah Bookbinder, President of Citizens Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the ethics watchdog organization that originally filed the complaint against Patton. “What made her behavior particularly egregious was that she not only used her position for political ends, but misled social housing residents and exploited them for political ends. She showed little consideration for the people she was supposed to help and the ethics she should obey. “Patton’s actions were far from an outlier in the Trump administration, where senior officials developed a year-long pattern of violating the Hatch Act, mostly with impunity. The National Convention of Republicans alone represented a tsunami of potential violations of the law, from former Acting Secretary of State for Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, who hosted a primetime naturalization ceremony, to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to the decision of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to address the Jerusalem RNC until it was closed In October 2020 alone, the CREW found that 16 Trump officials had violated the Hatch Act an astonishing 60 times, including first daughter / senior advisor Ivanka Trump, son-in-law / senior advisor Jared Kushner, spokesman Kayleigh McEnany, commercial honoree Peter Navarro and communications director Alyssa Farah – but top government officials openly despised the law prohibiting the use of government positions or government resources for political purposes. “Nobody outside the Beltway really cares – they expect Donald Trump to promote Republican values ​​and they would expect Barack Obama, when he was in office, to do the same for Democrats,” said the former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows – a former Hatch Act advocate – told Politico in August, calling ethics experts “much hoopla”. Former White House senior advisor Kellyanne Conway said just before the Office of Special Counsel found she was should have been removed from government service for her repeated violations of the Hatch Act: “Blah, blah, blah … Let me know when the jail term begins.

As of early Friday afternoon, the garage door was covered with black garbage bags.

The vandals also left fake blood and a pig’s head in front of the House Speakers house in San Francisco.

“There are many unresolved issues and I don’t think this is a useful way to get there and a terrible start to the new year,” said Audrey Carlson, who has lived in the Pacific Heights neighborhood for 38 years.

It is unclear whether Pelosi was home at the time of the vandalism.

Security cameras surround Nancy Pelosi’s house.

On the street, guards like Fred Kennerley of a private security firm hired specifically to protect several residents of the affluent neighborhood said, “She’s got her own security. She has a Capitol Police that they fly with her all the way from Washington, DC. “

Kennerley says this is not the first time these attacks have taken place outside of Speaker Pelosi’s house.

“Last time they hung the hairdryers and things on the trees,” Kennerley said.

We contacted the FBI’s San Francisco office and they partially replied, “In accordance with DOJ guidelines, we cannot approve or deny certain FBI activity or the presence of an investigation.”

San Francisco police have confirmed they answered a phone call reporting the vandalism at 2:00 a.m. on January 1.

“Unknown suspects painted graffiti on the garage door and left a pig’s head on the sidewalk,” said SFPD. “The SFPD Special Investigations Division is investigating. Anyone with information is asked to call the SFPD Tip Line at 1-415-575-4444 or send a TIP to TIP411 and text the message starting with SFPD. You can remain anonymous.”

Americans received $ 1,200 for the first time under a COVID-19 relief deal at the start of the pandemic.

“The government should do everything possible to help the people during this time,” said Bella Whalen, a Pacific Heights resident.

Months later, lawmakers pushed through an additional $ 600 aid checks that Americans are now receiving.

President Donald Trump last month urged Congress to increase the checks to $ 2,000, which Democrats then put to the vote before being blocked by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The GOP leader claimed Congress had already provided enough aid to Americans during the pandemic.

January 1, 2021 Updated: January 1, 2021, 7:01 p.m.

According to reports, words spray painted by House Spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi were written in the garage of one of the houses.

Photos suggested that the spray-painted words instructed them to “cancel the rent,” and another phrase grazed the phrase “$ 2k,” a reference to the proposed $ 2,000 stimulus checks that were unsupported by the Senate.

KGO-TV reported that apparently a pig’s head and fake blood were also left near the vandalism.

Amidst public opinion, the latest round of $ 600 stimulus checks is insufficient. President Donald Trump pushed for it to be raised to $ 2,000, a move pushed by a majority in the House of Representatives.

The garage was later covered, which limited media coverage of the incident.
