Paul Pelosi’s suspected assailant had planned to target actor Tom Hanks: US Court

Firstpost  

The suspect David DePape told police he had intended to kidnap the Democratic Party’s Nancy Pelosi politician in Congress and get her to admit to ‘lies’ or he would smash her kneecaps The man accused of attacking US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer had a list of future targets that included Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks, a US court heard Wednesday. David DePape told police he had intended to kidnap the Democratic Party’s top politician in Congress and get her to admit to “lies” or he would smash her kneecaps. But when he broke into her San Francisco home in October, he instead found her 82-year-old husband Paul Pelosi, and after what he told officers was a “pretty amicable” exchange, bludgeoned him with a hammer. San Francisco Superior Court Judge Stephen Murphy ruled Wednesday that there was enough evidence for 42-year-old DePape, a Canadian former public nudity activist, to stand trial over the assault, which left Paul Pelosi with a fractured skull.
