Paul Pelosi’s alleged attacker told a 911 operator he was a “friend” of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband moments before he attacked the 82-year-old with a hammer this past October, chilling audio released Friday revealed.
The nearly three-minute call was made public Friday after a judge ordered the discharge of fabric — including police body camera footage and audio of David DePape’s initial interview with investigators — on the request of stories organizations.
Throughout the call, Paul Pelosi asks the operator, identified as Heather Grimes: “Is the Capitol Police around? They’re often here at the home protecting my wife.”
When Grimes tells him the number is for San Francisco police, Pelosi says: “No, I understand. OK, well …” before asking DePape, “I don’t know, what do you think that?”
After a muffled voice answers: “I believe all the pieces’s good,” Paul Pelosi tells Grimes: “He thinks all the pieces’s good. I’ve got an issue, but he thinks all the pieces’s good.”
