A California court has released shocking police bodycam footage showing the moment former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul was violently assaulted with a hammer in his San Francisco home.

The video shows two police officers arriving at the Pelosi home on October 28, knocking on the door and waiting around 20 seconds before it is answered to show David DePape and Paul Pelosi both gripping a hammer.

Paul Pelosi then attempts to twist the hammer out of DePape’s hand.
