A federal judge this week denied a request from lawyers of Paul Pelosi attack suspect David DePape to move his trial out of California’s Bay Area, according to a new court filing.

Mr. DePape is facing both state and federal charges in an October 2022 incident in which he allegedly attacked Mr. Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), inside their San Francisco home. He’s also accused of making threats to kidnap Mrs. Pelosi and other officials, although he has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
