Nancy Pelosi's husband survived a hammer-wielding intruder, but US politicians wonder who could be targeted next
With his wife away in Washington DC, Paul Pelosi woke up in the early hours of the morning to find an intruder in their San Francisco home making a bone-chilling demand.
"Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?" David DePape reportedly shouted as he sought out the speaker of the US House of Representatives.
The 42-year-old entered the property last Friday with at least one hammer, carrying a backpack containing a roll of tape, white rope, rubber and cloth gloves, and zip ties, according to the FBI.
Mr DePape later told local police he wanted to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage in order to have a political discussion.
He then explained that if she told the "truth" he planned to let her go.
But if she "lied", he said, he intended to break her kneecaps so she would have to be wheeled into US Congress as a warning to other US Democrats.
