David DePape, the man who allegedly assaulted Paul Pelosi, was on a “suicide mission” and had plans to target other California and federal politicians, according to a court document filed on Nov. 1 by the office of San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins.
DePape, 42, appeared briefly in San Francisco Superior Court on Nov. 1 and pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder of Pelosi and other charges. It was his first public appearance since last week’s hammer attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) husband.
