"DePape told officers in a recorded interview last week that he broke through a glass door in the home using a hammer, according to the criminal complaint. He said Paul Pelosi was in bed at the time and "appeared surprised" by him. DePape allegedly told Paul Pelosi to wake up and that he was "looking for Nancy," to which Paul Pelosi responded that she wasn't there. Paul Pelosi apparently asked DePape how they could resolve the situation."
"Paul Pelosi said in a later interview with police that DePape told him he wanted to talk to "Nancy" and when Pelosi responded that his wife wasn't home and wouldn't be for several days, DePape responded that he would sit and wait. Body-worn camera footage from police showed a broken laminated glass door near the door handle near the back porch of the home, backing DePape's account."
"DePape told police in a separate interview that once he was inside the home, he wanted to tie up Paul Pelosi so he could sleep because he was "tired from having had to carry a backpack." DePape allegedly took out zip ties from his pocket so he could restrain Paul Pelosi, but Pelosi moved to another part of the house. DePape allegedly stopped him and they went back into the bedroom."
"Jenkins said during a Monday news conference that Pelosi tried to access a phone located in the household's elevator, but DePape blocked access to it. Pelosi was eventually able to get to the bathroom and use another phone to dial 911."
"DePape confirmed in his account to police that Paul Pelosi went into the bathroom while they were talking and called 911 on his phone. DePape said he "felt like Pelosi's actions compelled him to respond" and that there was "no way the police were going to forget about the call." DePape said he stayed after the 911 call because "like the American founding fathers with the British, he was fighting against tyranny without the option of surrender."
"Though police haven't publicly specified a motive for the attack, Jenkins said Monday that based on the comment DePape made to Paul Pelosi and his own statements, the attack was "politically motivated."
“It’s very sad to see that we are once again at the point in history where people believe that it’s OK to express their political sentiments through violence,” Jenkins said. “It demonstrates that we have to calm things down. We have to decide that we’re going to be more respectful as an American society.”
