On Friday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) formally requested a sentence of 40 years in prison for the man who was convicted in the assault of Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
According to Axios, the demand was made by federal prosecutors in a 20-page sentencing memo, which specifically stated that the goal was for the steep sentence to serve as a warning to others who may try to carry out political violence.
In October of 2022, David DePape broke into the Pelosis’ residence in San Francisco late in the evening and assaulted Paul with a hammer just as police were arriving. The former Speaker was not home at the time. DePape allegedly said that he wanted to assault Nancy Pelosi herself in order to “show other members of Congress there were consequences to actions.”
